As the world's largest physical bookstore and a landmark cultural tourism destinationin the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area(GBA), the "Eye of the Bay Area"began its internal trial operation today for professional readers and senior members. Entry is by internal invitation only, and the venue will officially open to the general public on September 26th.

As a major cultural facility and public welfare project in the new era in Shenzhen, the "Eye of the Bay Area" is invested in and operated by Shenzhen Publishing Group. Located in the Qianhai New Urban Centerand on the east side of Bao'an's central green axis, the "Eye of the Bay Area" enjoys direct access to Baohua Station on Metro Line 5. Its architectural design has won honors, including the Platinum Winnerat the MUSE Design Awards. By adopting the strategy of "opening up the building," it breaks through the traditional enclosed boundaries of a bookstore, transforming the roof into an ecological landscape. Besides, it integrates Lingnan folk culturewith ecological concepts to create an immersive cultural promenade.

During the trial operation, the "Eye of the Bay Area" will fine-tune its digital operation services and host small salonsand expert visits from time to time to optimize service quality. Upon its official opening, it will debut alongside the Bao'an's central green axis and simultaneously launch a range of special spaces and exhibitions, including the first "Three-Body Four-Dimensional Space" in South China, China's first "Yuewen Book Garden" and the "Magnificent Murals: Glory of the Prosperous Era" Exhibition, the "Bay Theater," and the "Gongbo Gift". A series of activities such as celebrity talks and pop-up interactionswill also be introduced.

Once in full operation, the project is expected to host over 1,000 cultural events annually and serve more than 10 million visitors each year, becoming a new cultural and tourism landmark in the GBA that integrates culture and experiences.
