China came up with yet another unique kind of destination and this one comes in the form of a bookstore but situated oddly in an underground car park.

Unlike the usual bookstore or library that has the chandeliers and elegant interior designs, the Librairie Avant-Garde has the yellow road stripes to lead the readers to the right path. Its 50-year-old owner, Qian Xiaohua got the space which measures 4,000 square meter in 1999 and used to be a car park for the government.

According to Qian, he chose the site to become a secondary resource of books for students attending Nanjing University. Even the cash counter of the shop is made up of books, CNN reports.

Qian's bookshop is not the first in the list of weird bookstores. There are lots of other interesting bookstores you can visit to please the book porn in you.

The John King bookstore is located inside a glove factory that dates back to the 1940s. It is made up of five stories of book shelf mazes with maps that are hand-drawn and some of the original signage of the factory is still found.
