旧天堂书店
Multifunctional independent shop combining rare books, vinyl records, café, and underground live music in a converted creative park.
This guide to Old Heaven Books in Shenzhen's OCT-Loft district follows Tu Fei, a guitarist and frontman of a local band, who opened a space that refuses to be just one thing: books and vinyl on one side of a dividing wall, a cafe on the other, and live performances after dark. It traces the shop's second life as a record label, pairing traditional Chinese instruments like the pipa and guzheng with visiting free-jazz musicians such as Hamid Drake, Iva Bittova, and Peter Brotzmann. Browse the shelves of rare humanities editions and mismatched vinyl sleeves before the evening's set begins.
