A view of an automated bookstore in Beijing International Book Mall in Beijing, March 12, 2018. Similar to Amazon Go, the bookstore is the first in Beijing to allow customers to purchase books without using a cashier or checkout station. Customers can scan their face to enter the 24-hour bookstore, choose books, scan the code to pay and leave as they like. Hundreds of customers have visited the bookstore since it opened on Jan. 12. Owner Mu Bei says 20 more such automated bookstores are planned for university campuses and office buildings this year. (Photo: China News Service/Li Xuefeng)
