A “Destination Location” Without a Doubt
For more than a decade, my husband and I ran a “destination” fabric store and retreat center. By “destination,” I mean that our store was so unique in our artful creation of displays and how we merchandised our wares that it became known as a “destination location,” somewhere that people would travel a long way to see.
If you take that concept of making a place something to see and then multiply it by a million, you’ve got the Destination Bookstore in the Chinese province of Sichuan in a town called Dujiangyan. (If I had money, I’d book a trip to see it right now!)
This Dujiangyan bookstore is a bibliophile’s ticket to dream-world. More than 80,000 books are displayed in the 10,500 square foot bookstore designed like a labyrinth. Shoppers can wander through curved walls filled with books, stroll through massive archways, and climb spiral staircases to get high with the books.
The volumes on the highest levels are decorative only, but the other 80,000 volumes are in reach for the customers who can search through 20,000 categories.
