Of course with claims to fame and World’s Biggest, it tends to come down to how one defines big. According to the Guinness Book of World Records the world’s biggest bookstore, as defined by square footage is a Barnes & Noble shop in New York City; while, Powell’s Books of Portland Oregon, USA claims the title based on shelf space. With that said, Central Book City is big, while at the same time it is more of a mall atmosphere with many different vendors under one roof that together makes up what the Shenzheners call their world’s biggest bookstore. However you judge it, Shenzhen’s Central Book City will be a memorable visit and is worth checking out.
