The Zhongshuge Bookstore was established in October 2018 and earned the title "Guizhou's most beautiful bookstore" in 2022 for its unique spatial design, promotion of Guizhou's local culture, and encouragement of reading among teenagers.

According to employees of the bookstore, there have been many out-of-town visitors of late. In addition to providing book-related services, the bookstore has displayed local cultural and creative products at the entrance, allowing visitors to not only experience the rich literary atmosphere of Guiyang, but also take home unique cultural products representing Guizhou's intangible heritage.

工作人员介绍，近段时间外地游客相对较多，除了做好书籍相关的服务，也在门口的醒目位置摆放了一些带有本地特色的文创产品，让外地游客不仅能感受到贵阳的浓浓书香，也能将带有贵州特色的非遗文创产品带回家。
