A two-story historic Chinese building over 400 years old has been relocated and renovated into a bookstore, which opens in Shanghai Tuesday.

The Hui-style wooden structure was dismantled into parts and moved from the foot of Mount Huangshan in East China's Anhui province, 400 km southwest of Shanghai.
