) There is an foreign language bookstore on the same road. Just go east from the Shanghai Bookmall, you’ll see that bookstore. (address for the foreign language bookstore is Num.390 Fu Zhou Road.)
(some background:
Before 1949, Fu2 Zhou1 Road was also called Si4 Ma3 Lu4(四马路), in literally si4 = 4th, ma3lu4 = road. It was famous for lots of bookstores and publishing companies there. It was also known as the famous culture road in China. Nowadays there are lots of bookstores too. Why did people name this Road as the “Fu Zhou Road”?? Do you remember the treaty I mentioned yesterday?? Yes, in that treaty 5 cities in China were mentioned to open to the outside world, Fuzhou was among them. )
