The Eyes of the GBA, now the world’s largest physical bookstore with an area of about 131,000 square meters, officially opened its doors on Friday.
Built and operated by Shenzhen Publishing Group, the cultural complex is located in Shenzhen’s Bao’an district and focuses on nature and openness, culture and tourism integration, innovative business models, commercial revitalization, and technological empowerment.
The bookstore includes a reading space featuring nearly 100,000 curated books, flagship stores and outlets, a starlit garden, commercial corridors, a Greater Bay Area folklore museum, and a theater.
The opening featured the inaugural Mural Masterpieces of the Tang Dynasty exhibit at the Bay Area Folklore Museum. A collaboration with the Shaanxi History Museum, the exhibit uses high-definition murals, VR experiences, and artifact replicas to bridge ancient and modern cultures.
Additionally, the Three-Body Universe sci-fi center and the Amazing Shenzhen Black Technology exhibit showcase cutting-edge innovations from local tech giants like BYD, Huawei, and DJI.
