Located on the first floor of Yantai Museum of Fine Arts, the Ideal Bookstore is one of the must-go destinations in the city of Yantai during the May Day holidays.

Close to the sea, the bookstore is decorated in an ocean blue colour, giving it a modern and fresh feel, while graffiti works from local children cover the wall.

Foreign magazines and the latest periodicals adorn the bookshelves, with samples available for reading.
