Yu Mu Zhai 2022 Bookstore Review

In late March, the four major bookstores in Yuxi City were basically renovated, after half a year of experience, the author felt it was necessary to share his personal feelings with readers and friends who had not been to the bookstore for a long time, because the old mobile phone hung up, resulting in the picture not being saved, and too lazy to take another real shot, to Yumuzhai video number (wx: yuduzhais) real-time dynamic update prevails, here is not to repeat the map.

Xinhua Bookstore Nie'er Book City

After the new renovation, it is still the largest bookstore in Yuxi, and the strength of the old state-owned enterprises is beyond doubt, not only maintaining the expansion of the number of campus bookstores, but also spending a large cost to renovate the Longma Road Main Store, and the light staircase and elevator atrium occupy more than 100 square meters.

In addition to the overall pattern remaining unchanged, the biggest change is that the third floor is specially listed as a children's reading area, and the first floor is only a small number of magazine shelves that can be ignored except for the stationery and study and the electronic digital area at the door, and for adult readers, the main body of the bookstore is actually still on the second floor.

On the day of the spring equinox, the tables and chairs in the reading area on the second floor are in place, and the wooden tables and chairs against the wall around the atrium are also the largest number of reading positions in all bookstores, and the reading positions by the north window are also suitable for afternoon rest, and are located behind several columns, cleverly half-separated the bookshelves and seats, and it can be seen that the design has taken some thought.

Chen Pin, this decoration has not made much progress, but more like the warehouse inventory are put up, some inventory books occupy too many bookshelves, there is an illusion that there are too many shelves and not enough varieties. The bathroom is also basically the same as the old facilities.

With the Xinhua online mall entering platforms such as Jingdong, Yuxi Xinhua has not officially opened an online shopping service, and the beverage area in the store has not yet been operated, and there is still room for extra points in this part.

New Knowledge City Yuxi store

Since relocating to the third floor of the department store, it was once the bookstore with the best reading experience, but since the beginning of the epidemic, whether it is the selection display or service, it feels a bit backward, especially this year, there are many blank places on the shelves, and periodicals and magazines have completely stopped updating and purchasing.

However, it is still the favorite place for the student party to do homework, thanks to the shop rule that school bags do not need to be stored in the cabinet, the most books can be opened and read, and it has also become a good place for some students who do not go home to take a lunch break. The only drawback is that the bathroom facilities are slightly aging, and sometimes the smell is more obvious.

In terms of online malls, as the only bookstore that provides online shopping at present, the APP response speed is slow, and there is still room for improvement in the use experience and discounts and reader service.

Qingxi Bookstore

Taking advantage of the time point of shelter from the rain and few people at noon today, I once again experienced the book in Qingxi, whether it is the decoration environment or the WiFi speed is the store with the best sense of experience at present, that is, like Xinhua, the books can be opened and read pitifully, fortunately, there are relatively many magazines and there are no books to read.

The biggest advantage is that the flush toilets with four separate divided bathrooms will not return to the smell, and there will be no odor even if they sit in it all the time.

In terms of selection and display, I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional reasons, so far the display of Qingxi is still a bit messy, and it may be a little unbearable for the forced Virgo, obviously a set of books will be on different bookshelves.

The online mall is still easy to use, but it is limited by the supply channel, and the price is not much different from the physical store, and the bookstore may face the same problem on the online sales, so it is not in-depth.

Yunxing Four Seas Book Club

As an old bookstore that fought with Xinhua on Fenghuang Road in the first decade of this century, it also has a history of more than 20 years like Qingxi's predecessor, the Education Bookstore, and is considered an old bookstore.

The newly renovated Four Seas on Phoenix Road is still in place, the first floor has been expanded to a service desk and façade, and the stairwell is cleverly furnished with books such as periodicals and art, which is twice the space used.

The main store area on the second floor is the office area newly installed as an identification area with punch card photography function, in addition to the original is not much different, and the main teaching aids, far from the four seas ten years ago, it feels like a position with the old education bookstore.

The disadvantage is that it is more like a warehouse, the reading area is pitiful, and there is no bathroom, which is not very friendly to the bubble shop people. The only advantage is that there are more magazine categories.

postscript

In 2022 has been opened in the Dongfeng Middle Road Cultural Center city study room and the preparation of the Moxiang Study Room (Zheng's former residence) located in Qiyang Road, combined with the field and the big policy direction, the future urban cultural public space, including museums, cultural palaces and other infrastructure investment may enter a new stage, although there is no clear document or local policy implementation, but the trend may be greatly improved from this year, the financial investment in the public infrastructure will have some wind policy investment and guidance. There are some advantages in terms of leisure demand and cultural entertainment supply, the only problem is that the increasingly harsh economic environment is more and more unfriendly to individuals, under the unprecedented pressure of survival life, how many people have leisure time to enjoy the time of books and feel leisure life?

A problem is not necessarily unsolvable.
