The bookstore chain Eslite "has transformed part of the Zhongshan Metro into the longest book street in Taiwan," Taiwan News reported, noting the company won a bid in March to replace the shops in Zhongshan Metro Mall, an underground shopping street in Taipei, with a bookstore.
"This is the first underground book street built by Eslite," said Lin Hsuan-ying, senior manager at Eslite. The book street is 300 meters (about 985 feet) long. The grand opening is scheduled for August 7.
