You never know how romantic and talented Chinese people can be. The only surviving painting by the Northern Song Dynasty s (960-1127) young genius artist Wang Ximeng, A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, is probably the finest example of Chinese blue-green landscape paintings. With bright mineral pigments, the painter depicts a vast country landscape, an ideal world of perfect order and harmony that people dream of. Now, nearly 1,000 years later, Chinese musicians are doing the same thing as Wang, but this time through the art of music.

Located near the 90-year old Lyceum Theatre, the new bookstore will mainly feature books related to theater and drama, scripts of plays, as well as original works.
Spiral staircases, movie props, chimneys, train-styled bookshelves; the whole bookstore is a richly stage-decorated space, awash with theatrical elements.
