Introduction

As soon as you step onto Shaoxing Road, the hustle and bustle of the surrounding traffic instantly fades away. Along this less-than-500-meter street, a serene and artistic atmosphere pervades, with the occasional sight of artsy youths toting DSLR cameras.

Shaoxing Road is indeed a very famous street, and its fame stems from the rich literary ambiance that fills the air — an ambiance with quite a pedigree. The street is home to many top-tier publishing houses, magazines, as well as renowned bookstores and galleries, which is why Shaoxing Road is also known as "Publishing Street." Quirky coffee shops and quiet, mysterious galleries offer surprises around nearly every corner.
