You can explore seven categories of books at the Book Zone, ranging from literature and comics to foreign books. Then, participate in over 100 activities held in the Activity Zone. The highlight of this zone is the Bookolympics competition that searches for five talents covering designer, writer, proofreader, top seller, and best reader.
