But often, not far from these huge stores, in all the prime locations, sit the state-run Xinhua bookstores. They sport old-fashioned storefronts, old-fashioned displays, and old-fashioned customer service-like museum pieces, they give the visitors a peek into the "olden days."
但往往就在圖書大廈的不遠處，計劃性經濟下的國營新華書店仍佔據都會重要角落，以最陳舊的店面、陳列、服務品質，無視於都市的急劇變遷，提供給遊客一種旅遊時不期而遇的「往日情懷」。
