Introducing Hai An Bookstore

If in Hanoi, people can both enjoy good books and check-in "virtual life" at Book Street, then in Ho Chi Minh City, Hai An Bookstore will be the ideal place to do those activities.

Although it is called a bookstore, Hai An bookstore is not simply a place to buy books and school supplies, but this place also subtly turns the ocean theme into the main design of the building. Since then, Hai An bookstore has become an extremely artistic check-in location for all ages in Saigon. Thanks to that, Hai An bookstore has been nicknamed "Atlantis" by many young people. It implies that this place is like an ocean of knowledge for everyone.

History of Hai An Bookstore

The first bookstores of the Hai An brand were founded by Mr. Nguyen Van Hai and officially opened in 1995. Initially, the bookstore was just a small store with very few good books. However, after a long time of development and pursuing the vision of developing a reading culture in the community, Hai An Bookstore has become one of the largest and most prestigious bookstores in Vietnam. In addition to its unique designs, Hai An Bookstore also regularly organizes cultural activities such as author exchanges, writing and reading competitions, etc.

Unique space of Hai An bookstore

As introduced above, Hai An bookstore is not only a prestigious place in providing books and organizing cultural reading exchanges, but it also "conquers" the hearts of countless customers with its unique design. Although on the outside, Hai An bookstore has a rather simple design with not very prominent colors, when you step inside, you will be surprised by a completely different world. Because not only are the unique designs inspired by the sea, but the colors also become more natural and brighter. The unique designs of the bookstore can be mentioned as:

Ground floor: Designed as the bottom floor of the ocean, so the bookshelves are arranged delicately to create the undulating image of the ocean waves. But the highlight is the giant seaweed tree that reaches up to the 2nd floor of the bookstore.

3rd floor: It can be said that this is the most attractive place of the bookstore. The 3rd floor is designed like a boat floating on the calm sea. Therefore, not only are the walls painted in the typical blue color of the sea, but there are also paintings of giant sea animals. With reading areas, coffee shops and decorations with the theme of the sea, this will be the perfect place for you to take virtual photos. 4th floor: This is probably the most special place in the bookstore as the decoration theme here will be constantly changed. Thereby bringing a new feeling to customers.
