Underground garage transformed into 24-hour bookstore

The bookstore was opened by Lu Hongren, who graduated from Shanxi University in 2016. Lu, who is still in his 20s, raised 2 million yuan (about 301,000 US dollars) through a crowd funding campaign and turned an underground garage into a two-storey bookstore. Readers can read books, have a chat and drink some coffee in the bookstore. Lu says he just wants to provide readers with a comfortable reading environment. [Photo: Chinanews.com]
