The ceiling of Shenzhen's artsy bookstores: Old Paradise Bookstore

#NovemberDestinations2025 If you think Shenzhen is all about speed and technology, then you absolutely must visit "Old Paradise Bookstore". Here, there's no cold commercialism, only the aroma of books, old posters, records, wooden bookshelves, and a long-lost warmth. Here, time automatically slows down, you'll suddenly want to pick up a book, sit a little longer, let the world gently flow between the pages. If travel needs a reason to slow down, this is just right.
