山連山，百峰擁千翠；水中水，萬雨潤一城！重慶，作為世界上最大的內陸山水之城，是一座有山有水，靈氣十足的城市。是古時文人墨客鍾情之地，亦是現在人人嚮往的地方。如今鍾書閣也正式融入這個充滿詩情畫意之地，坐落於楊家坪中迪廣場。莎士比亞曾經說過，書籍是全世界的營養品；生活裡沒有書籍，就好像大地沒有陽光；智慧裡沒有書籍，就好像鳥兒沒有翅膀。
X+Living：As one of the world’s largest inland city of mountains and rivers, Chongqing is a city full of surprises and wonderful and charming corners. Since ancient times, its landscape and numerous historical sites have attracted many ancient writers and calligraphers. Until today, Chongqing is still a city of attraction to everyone.
從3F扶梯上去首先映入眼簾的就是鍾書閣特色的文字幕牆，從正門進入大廳在深棕色為主色調的空間內放置了大大小小的“燈罩書架”，配上暖暖的燈光，你可以置身於燈罩內，可以在書桌前放下疲憊，享受奢侈的閱讀時光，感受被一個大大的“書房”眷顧的溫暖。
Located on the 3rd and 4th Floor of Zodi Plaza, Yangjiaping, the Chongqing Zhongshuge greets visitors with a simple glass facade covered with text. Once inside, scattered “lampshade-shaped bookshelves” are found throughout the dark brown lobby. Visitors can feel as if they were in a bright and warm private study when they read in the warm light projected from inside the lampshades.

從燈造型書房走來就到了閱讀長廊，一道道門拱兩側整齊書架，在地面反射下形成一道道“穿越書海的隧道”，擺書檯仿若引領我們走向知識的盡頭。
On one corner of the lampshade-shaped lobby is a quiet reading corridor, with bookshelves extending down the hallway. The bookshelves reflect on the ground and form a tunnel of books that beckons visitors to follow it deeper into the space and knowledge.

兒童館坐落在書房另一角，映入眼簾的則是五顏六色的兒童繪本區，突出了繽紛的主題，我們描繪了重慶獨有的山城景觀、建築、交通。讓小朋友在讀書的同時也可以領略到山城獨有的魅力。
On the other corner of the lobby is the children’s reading room, where the bookshelves are built colorful with drawn Chongqing’s landscape, buildings and transportation. Children may feel like in the charming Chongqing while reading in this room.

從閱讀長廊和兒童館走出來就到了閱讀廳，整個空間被“山形階梯”層層環繞，整個天花被鏡面覆蓋，倒影出一個亦真亦幻的鏡像空間，拾步在階梯上，時而登高、時而遠眺，亦可以抬手間拿起一本好書，體會字裡行間帶給我們的思考。
Further down the corridor and the children’s reading room is the main study, a “ladder hall” where the stair double as bookshelves and the mirrored ceiling overhead doubles the size of the already astonishing room. The space allows visitors to rest on the shelved steps and be immersed in books and thoughts.

從“山形階梯”走到4F，就是休閒咖啡閱讀區。在這裡端上一杯香茗伴著一抹淡淡的咖啡香，心緒如一潭清泉般平靜，翻閱手中的書籍，開始走進那個與不同故事邂逅的異世界。四周利用“燈罩書架”圍合成了一個個私密的卡座。在這裡人們可以在此與朋友相聚、享受休閒時光，並彼此學習和成長。
Up to the 4th floor from the “ladder hall” is a leisure area, where visitors can enjoy the aroma of coffee or a taste of good tea and immerse themselves into a tranquil world of different stories by reading. The “lampshade-shaped bookshelves” around create scattered booths at this area, in which visitors may gather with friends to have fun reading and enjoy their leisure time.

休閒區咖啡閱讀區相連的就是精品閱讀區了。這裡你可以領略到各個領域先賢、大師的人生智慧，接受一場心靈上的洗禮。
Connected to the leisure area is the extensive reading hall, where works of great minds are listed and visitors are able to broaden their eyes and enrich their spiritual world.

季羨林先生有過這麼一句話：“人類千百年以來保存智慧的手段不出兩種：一是實物，比如長城等；二是書籍，以後者為主。”
我們希望每一個人來到鍾書閣，不單單只是找到好書、新書，還可以在這裡遇見許許多多志同道合的朋友。因為，這是一個人與書的交流空間，還是一個人與生活的交流空間，更是一個人與人的交流空間。
Zhongshuge Bookstore is a good place to read books, understand one’s life and meet others. It is hoped that visitors to it can not only read good and new books, but also meet friends of the same interests.
