To build a scholarly Haishu, the district attracts many well-known bookstores like SDX Joint Publishing Company and Sisyphe Bookstore, making Haishu the district with the most dense distribution of physical bookstores in the city. Also, the district establishes a three-level village-town-district network where 150 book borrowing and returning places and 60 reading rooms enable more citizens to enjoy reading.
