Shanghai Exhibition Center-- A must for bookworm

Although it's winter now, every summer, the week-long Shanghai Book Fair has always become an ideal place for book lovers to visit.

With various kinds of packs in hands, visitors line up outside the entrance to the venue of the book fair—Shanghai Exhibition Center.

Many complain that it is “too crowded,” but no one flee away. Since the annual book fair was launched in 2004, each year’s event has been divided into different zones according to the themes of books on display. It is impossible to stroll through the whole book fair in one day, no matter whether you come to buy discounted books, seek new publications or find books out of print.
