The Chinese city of Yangzhou is home to a stunning new bookshop, filled with surprises, optical illusions and references to classic Chinese literary romance

这篇文章写在扬州最新书店的墙壁、天花板和地板上，在那里，一种视觉错觉将一间普通的长方形房间变成了一条圆柱形的隧道。由上海的XL-Muse工作室为图书零售商中书屋创作的一种黑色镜面地板，配上两堵拱形书架墙，有助于创建一个看似永无止境的书籍漏斗。

该设计灵感来自扬州丰富的文化遗产，据说是文人和诗人的历史聚集地。首席设计师李想从中国古典浪漫小说“红楼梦”中的一首诗中得到了灵感，这首诗被认为是指这家商店现在所在的地区。(春花秋月，青山清澈，六朝遗物24座。)拱形架代表雪琴诗中的“24座桥”，天花板上的一条转弯线代表“清澈的水”或“河流”。香解释说，游客应该和河流一起流淌，被黑镜子的地板卷走，深入书店，“进入浩瀚的知识海洋”。

这座面积1000平方英尺的洞穴掩盖了朴素的店面。随着游客们深入探索，一边浏览一边，右边的一扇门打开了一个令人惊讶的宽敞的阅览室，天花板光滑、弯曲，还有更多的书供阅读。回到隧道左边，一个迷人的儿童区被闪烁的LED星光覆盖着夜空，摆满了五颜六色的市容架子，反映了如今繁华的、当代的扬州。

Designed by award-winning Shanghai interior architecture studio XL-Muse, the store has a black, mirrored floor, which creates the impression of a cylindrical tunnel of books

The design is inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Yangzhou, which is said to be a historical gathering place for literati and poets

Lead designer Li Xiang took inspiration from a verse in the classic Chinese romance novel A Dream of Red Mansions, by Cao Xueqin, which is thought to refer to the area in which the shop now stands

As visitors delve deeper into the tunnel, browsing as they go, a door to the right opens into a surprisingly large hall for reading, with smooth, curving ceilings and yet more books for perusal

Back through the tunnel and to the left, a charming children's area is covered by a night sky of twinkling LED stars 

The children's space is also filled with colourful shelves in the shape of houses and towers, reflecting the bustling, contemporary Yangzhou of today

An unassuming store front belies the cavernous, 1,000 sq ft space inside
