Located in clear view of any visitor almost at beginning of the street and carrying a Large Red and White name-sign, Cathay Bookstore could not be more clearly advertized and should be easy to find. Cathay Bookstore is the Large 2 store front at
Number 34. Cathay Bookstore is a large Store encompassing twice the space of other large stores at Liu Lichang (West) Street offering the visitor a large variety of books on various mainly art-related or history and photography- subjects, small art works, caligraphy necessities and also a growing collection of video CD & DVD.

Cathay Bookstore is a mainstay Foreign Language Bookstore in Beijing, especially for your finer choice of background books. However, mind you Cathay Bookstore also caters to the Chinese Art & Chinese History Fan. As such large parts of the store are reserved for Chinese Language Works. Interesting to browse about in, and have a look at the different designs and
Photos. For the less fortunate however, those who didn't master Mandarin Language (Yet?) , these Books will hardly feel like worth buying. As mentioned , not a problem at all.
Cathay Bookstore is still one of Foremost Foreign Language Bookstores in Beijing and a must-visit for happy Book-wurms, Poster-fans and just General China and Art lovers.
