A student reads at a Xinhua Bookstore in Rugao city, in Jiangsu province, on Aug 19. The store, recently awarded the honorary title of the "Most Beautiful Xinhua Bookstores in China", has become a hot spot for locals, especially the young, to escape summer heat and immerse themselves in a world of books. It has been standing as a cultural window of Rugao for 72 years. The store regularly stocks more than 25,000 kinds of books, audio-visual products and digital publications. The award took into consideration the overall environment, services, facilities and capabilities to answer readers' needs in a bricks-and-mortar store. Sixty Xinhua bookstores from over 30 provinces and cities entered the final round this year. [Photo/VCG]
