Librairie Avant-Garde operates two other stores in Nanjing, including one inside the Presidential Palace. Its latest store is located in the old town in Wuxi. But it's the special car park location and design that's made the main shop a tourist landmark of the city. "Librairie Avant-Garde has unintentionally become the city's tourist spot," says Qian. "Tourists come here to observe the culture of a city, to exchange cultures and it's also become a new meeting spot in Nanjing."

She says she came to the store twice a week during her years in the university. "A good bookshop should provide space, vision and nurture the city with its humanitarian spirit," says Qian. "It's a place for people to have dreams in the city." As Chinese cities undergo rapid development, and e-books chip away at the market for traditional books, many independent book stores are facing financial difficulties across the country. "Independent book shops represent the well-being of the city," says Qian. "When a city is losing its bookshops, it's actually losing something in its soul."
