1. Zhongshuge Bookstore (Hangzhou, China)

Have you ever just wanted to read but at the same time have your mind blown? Well, this is the place for you. Feast your eyes on this amazing palace of optical illusions. Zhongshuge was designed by XL-MUSE with the intention to make the place look never-ending; the kind of place you would want to get lost in.

The huge bookstore has quiet reading rooms, a ‘forest of mirrors’ room and an area that makes it seem like you’re sitting on a log in the woods. There’s also a room for children called the Book Playground. Reading peacefully in a forest dream while your kid has intellectual fun? Perfect.
