Nanjing's Librairie Avant-Garde, named by CNN as "China's Most Beautiful Bookstore", and listed by BBC among the "Top 10 Most Beautiful Bookstores in the World", has also opened a branch in Tangkou. The Grand Granary Bookstore is a cultural landmark transformed from five grain storage buildings built in the 1970s. It blends rural charm with urban intellectual vitality, serving as a bridge between history and modernity while offering a serene retreat for book lovers and photographers.
The bookstore integrates reading, exhibitions, and the retail of creative products, housing approximately 38,000 volumes categorized into five themed sections: poetry, social sciences, literature, life & children's books, and art. It is famous for its book collection of humanities and social sciences.
