People often say, if you really want to get to know one city, you should visit 2 places: local market and a bookstore. Market will let you understand more about local living and bookstore will allow you to explore more deeply ones city's cultural heritage.
人常说,想要了解一个城市看这两个地方就够了,一个是菜市场,一个是书店。逛菜市场,让你了解当地的生活习惯,而书店,则是让你了解这座城市的文化底蕴。
Dalian has a few independent bookstores that allows you to sit down for a while, read a book or enjoy a cup of coffee in the nice and quiet surroundings.
大连有几家很有腔调的书店,闲适的周末,坐一坐,看一本书、喝一杯咖啡,丰富你的精神世界。
Echo Bookstore(15th Warehouse)
回声书店(15库店)
Echo Bookstore is said to be one of famous bookstores in Dalian, usually having film screenings and salon activities. Being so close to the shore, hearing the sound of the sea and looking at ships as they sail away makes this bookstore attractive to visitors. 15th Warehouse is a cultural symbol of Dalian and a clear synonym for the Echo Bookstore.
回声书店可以说是大连很有名气的一家独立书店,会定期的举办沙龙活动,放映电影。书店出彩之处在于,临近海边,轮船会驶进驶出港口,真的可以听海、看书。15库被称为大连的文化标志,而回声书店显然是15库的代名词。
