Zheyoushu Cultural Space, a landmark cultural project developed by Jilin's Xinhua Bookstore, is set to become a dynamic hub that blends public reading, diverse arts, and immersive cultural tourism. Positioned as a next-generation urban cultural venue, it will enrich Changchun's network of public reading spaces and reflect a unique local cultural identity.

Guided by the "borderless reading" concept, it offers more than 400,000 books, featuring curated zones including a Commercial Press section, a Chinese National Geography showcase, and a Jilin Authors area.

Zheyoushu Cultural Space will collaborate with cultural institutions such as the Jilin Provincial Concert Hall and Changchun Film Group, weaving books, music, and film into a lively cultural ecosystem.

The opening of this new cultural space will mark another milestone for the province's growing reading landscape. Since the start of the year, five distinct study rooms have opened across East, West, South, North, and Central Changchun.

At East Study Room on Chongqing Road, upgraded facilities and a graded reading experience center invite readers to spend long, comfortable hours. West Study Room on Hongqi Street emphasizes academic and artistic depth, stocking over 2,000 specialized titles and forming a space for intellectual exchange. South Study Room on Tongzhi Street offers a retro atmosphere featuring secondhand books and classic texts. 

North Study Room on Renmin Street has become Changchun's first dedicated poetry bookstore, hosting weekly events. Central Study Room on Shanghai Road offers a 400-square-meter cultural-creative zone featuring local products and collaborations with nearby universities. Together, these venues form an expanding reading network that links urban and rural communities and supports public reading initiatives.

This year, Jilin's Xinhua Bookstore has continued its systemic transformation by opening more than 50 new bookstores and reading spaces.
