I had heard about UN BOOX (联合书店) for quite a long time. I’d heard that the bookstore had a more cultural and carefully curated selection of books, so today I finally came to take a look.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that it’s more than just a bookstore. Located inside UpperHills Shenzhen, the space combines books with cultural and creative goods, making it a nice place to browse and slow down for a while.

I especially like the combination of modern design and traditional Chinese elements. It gives the bookstore more of a cultural and creative feel rather than making it feel like a place that only sells books.
