Hi everyone. Hope you all are well as always. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmar2zKAoANfTB6wQHpbxDBNWP6vxJgzH56aEnNHRVtftL/img_2467.jpeg) When I told my friend I was going to Kuala Lumpur, she immediately sent me a video of a unique bookstore, people flocking to it because of its photo spots. I replied, "Wow, I hope I can explore and find that place." In fact, the viral bookstore was in the same building as the venue for the first day of the Hive Fest conference. How lucky I was. While attending Hive Fest, I got to check out the viral bookstore. That was BookXcess at REX KL… [//]:# (!worldmappin 3.14497 lat 101.69844 long d3scr) Let's get it! ----- **BookXcess at REX KL** ----- ----- | ![img_2310.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbxTjTBcVyp5AyKvjaD22xXadz5fXkuVgWdbpVQiY2x8W/img_2310.jpg) | ![img_2468.jpeg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZsUeiFCgekLTHYnTrmqBUbAz8uCh3KrgJXDXhjwcHsAZ/img_2468.jpeg) | | ----| ----| This bookstore is located on the third floor of a vintage-themed building. The entire space is lined with bookshelves in a uniform brown color. The bookstore has two sections: bestsellers are placed at the front, while the back is filled with books of various genres. ----- ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUoVFp8pFPcmaXGQ6Pi1C8yqbDLutr9rUbBh8PYUE5Wyq/img_2446.jpeg) When I went there, I really wanted to buy a lot of books, but then realized I didn't have any extra luggage. So I only bought two. | ![img_2448.jpeg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmd9ATg7YADKE5TfJE2V7URrSNmuiRDoiXyBNF2FkWynrj/img_2448.jpeg) | ![img_2449.jpeg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWneCV2DVSkZ6fxh32S2ttri9At77Q8g1J9z6ey7WHJxA/img_2449.jpeg) | ![img_2451.jpeg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXMUEKQDL3221RNPVp2ShX7uYJPuNPgrFxLW1CT4h9Pyv/img_2451.jpeg) | | ----| ----| ----| Speaking of this bookstore, it's now a popular tourist destination for foreign tourists. For example, when I went there, I saw several tourists from China and Korea who came there just to take photos at the viral photo spot. I even heard several people speaking the same language as me. This proves that this bookstore is a must-visit destination for foreign tourists. | ![img_2454.jpeg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPL7VPa3yKZmdeu81AgVt9PfJAEmcHHYheFGV5yFkJADE/img_2454.jpeg) | ![img_2452_1_.jpeg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNxbtGSiKw4NttHHXDWss4m4XvwmyHNaC3ts9USNNvoTY/img_2452_1_.jpeg) | ![img_2464.jpeg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmY9KLZFaXRqhNnaAQmubBEoHb9GF4aaVwUxkG7TAM89ow/img_2464.jpeg) | | ----| ----| ----| Of all the areas of the BookXcess bookstore, I like the back the most. They have a unique layout. The shelves are lined up and stacked in steps—you know, a stadium, that's how I see it. It's a unique and unusual layout. However, there are some statues above the shelves that sometimes surprise me. Don't be surprised, I was a little surprised. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTHAHzrv48xKmWxEMKAF1ePFYdF5kgj8hPWYiRAyUCaVW/img_2465.jpeg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTPd5LzV2stAihRsWDtCrcYieNn5avghFpeYEXpfcFcFq/img_2466.jpeg) ------- ![img_2407.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTCzK1obyrrS4ACrZdUWbRYnxMELnSrVojx17Vxi9gzwz/img_2407.jpg) I've been going to this area many times, wondering if I should buy it. They have unique pins, collaborating with Harry Potter. As a Potterhead, I can't resist buying something. But because I'm more focused on other books, I've turned a blind eye to this area. What a shame. ![img_2410.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXirGB2v1NqMm5DU8SqDNTdnZYoKd5Wi5iN6ZbCoiEmz6/img_2410.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmddmJjX3kXJqaUwaajJzWYtuTt3bX4qJQX5Pqd8NDog5e/img_2411.jpg) Nowadays, many bookstore owners have innovated by transforming their bookstores into unique spaces that attract the public. While some people's primary goal—perhaps simply to take a photo in a viral location—is at least they've seen the books inside, and that might be the first step toward developing a passion for reading—for someone who isn't a reader. So, I think making a bookstore a tourist attraction—one you can showcase—is a good thing. ---- ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVr3hgEm3SmWheuyq2rzyvyWFtUUt2Rqo9MJmQEGdSSie/img_2436.jpeg) This is on my wishlist, and it makes me want to return here because, when I compare prices at other bookstores, BookXcess is much more affordable. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZ3zD6hgxC5y8W4fHw8CLvW6FmiMzbcFHccPhZijwmqUu/img_2502.jpeg) What do you think?

Vivie Hardika Hi, Halo, Annyeong, welcome to my galaxy. I have so much imagination in my head. Something that I can't achieve as a human and as a girl. So writing is very challenging. Since Junior High School, I have written whatever I want to write. Without skill, I just write what I want to read. Now I have 12th published novels and all of those are romance. Yeah, I proudly say that I am a passionate author, traveler wannabe, and blogger.
