A newly opened cliffside bookstore in Luocheng Mulao Autonomous County, Guangxi, perched on the edge of a massive sinkhole hundreds of meters deep, is drawing readers and adventurers alike. The bookstore offers an awe-inspiring contrast: one side opens into an abyss while the other side is lined with bookshelves. Reading in such a geological marvel is sure to be a one-of-a-kind experience. The project reflects the scenic area's mission to fuse natural wonders with culture.
