Happy Gathering has three floors, and the floors are not absolutely separated but use a ‘mezzanine’ design, functionally divided into five areas: books, clothing, cultural and creative products, coffee and light food, and events. The first floor sells clothing, all brand-name goods, with the positions by the window and door designed as a coffee shop, where you can sit down for a cup of coffee when you’re tired from shopping, and it’s very welcome to come here just to taste the coffee; the second floor displays a large number of foreign selected magazines on themes of fashion, culture, and food in the form of a row of desks, and the display is located at the entrance of the second floor, very eye-catching. This is the internet celebrity bookstore. In addition to magazines, the second floor also displays art books and cultural and creative products. Next to the bookshelves, there are steps with a few cushions, where you can take a book and sit down casually, and no one will bother you until the bookstore closes, and it’s also great to take pictures here.
In terms of the main body, it should be a bookstore, but it is different from the traditional bookstore, just like its name, Gathering, which is just in Happiness Place, and implies happiness, really wonderful! It is a gathering of books, clothing, shoes, hats, accessories, and drinks and snacks, Happiness Gathering, really good! The store has two floors, designed very creatively, very modern, fashionable but not losing elegance, and it’s very enjoyable to enjoy this artistic conception. However, compared with the Gogol Bookstore in Harbin, it’s far from it.
