New bookstore in DuPont Circle, right next to Kramer's! It is currently the only Chinese-language bookstore in DC. Cute interior and friendly staff. Since I came on the second day it was open, they had complimentary food and drinks out. Great selection of books - Chinese-language books (I believe the entire upstairs area was comprised entirely of Chinese-language books) as well as books in English on Asian history and by Asian American authors. Background: "In 1997, Jifeng Bookstore, an independent bookstore with the motto of "independent cultural stance and free expression of ideas", opened in Shanghai, China, and after two decades of development, it had eight branches in Shanghai at its peak. However, it was forced to close in 2018 due to pressure from the Chinese government. Today, Jifeng Bookstore finds a new home in Washington D.C. with a new name, JF Books. This rebranding project reflects its revival and a continuation of its legacy." - Wendy Yu, wendyyudesign.com read more
