Cliffside bookstore offers novel views

Have you ever visited a bookstore by a cliff? Mianhua Tiankeng Bookstore in Luocheng, Hechi, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, makes it possible. Adjacent to a mysterious hundreds-of-meters-deep sinkhole and lined with book walls inside, it offers readers a novel reading experience.

Originally built to serve nearby rural communities, the bookstore has grown beyond a local cultural center. Its spectacular sinkhole landscape has turned it into a natural tourist spot, drawing numerous visitors from across China who come to read, take photos, or simply admire the stunning views.
