Remember when you used to sneak a flashlight under the covers so you could read a book after bedtime? A bookshop in Taiwan promises you a similar experience.
Wuguan Books is located in Kaohsiung's Pier-2 Art Center, a warehouse-turned-creative hub in Taiwan's second-largest city. And it is just as much an art exhibit as it is a bookshop.
Visitors make their way through the store in extreme darkness, except for the dim spotlights on each of the book covers and reading lights on some desks.
The unique bookshop is created and founded by the award-winning architecture and space designer Chu Chih-kang.
