Beijing's Baoguo Temple Old Book Market and the inaugural Book Sunning Festival opened on Saturday, marking the resurgence of an ancient literary tradition in the heart of the city. Baoguo Temple hosted the capital's most renowned book market during the late Ming (1368-1644) and early Qing (1644-1911) dynasties.

Last December preparations began for the Baoguo Temple Old Book Market, which has gradually attracted a growing number of avid readers. Over the past two weekends alone, it has seen impressive turnouts in excess of 10,000 visitors. Scheduled to run every weekend until October, the market promises to be a vibrant celebration of literary culture.
