    WHY YOU WILL BUILD THIS

    The Shanghai Street That Comes Alive After Dark

    There was a time when vintage trams moved through cobbled streets, jazz escaped from hidden clubs, and glowing lanterns illuminated grand Art Deco façades.

    Shanghai was known as the Paris of the East,a city where cultures collided, nightlife flourished, and every narrow alley seemed to hold another story.

    Most people can only experience that era through old photographs. You get to rebuild it.

    • Trade hours of mindless scrolling for a deeply satisfying build that leaves you with something worth keeping
    • Watch 344 individual pieces transform into a richly layered street from 1930s Shanghai
    • Bring the entire scene to life with ten warm lights illuminating the tram, cinema, lanterns, shopfronts, and hidden interiors
    • Discover storytelling details throughout the build, including two concealed letters and a secret vintage tram ticket
    • Recreate the contrast of East and West through ornate façades, traditional signage, cobbled alleys, and after-dark city life
    • Finish with an atmospheric, museum-quality display that becomes the focal point of your shelf
    • Build a piece of Shanghai’s golden era entirely with your own hands
    • A meaningful experience, exclusively at ANAVRIN®

    What exactly is the Old Shanghai DIY Book Nook Kit?

    Step into the golden-age streets of 1930s Shanghai. This DIY kit lets you build your own mini scene of vintage trams, Art-Deco façades, glowing lanterns and hidden jazz-bars tucked into narrow alleys. It’s not just a craft project — it’s an immersive journey of nostalgia, craftsmanship and atmosphere.

    Does it come with working lights? How does it work?

    Yes, every kit comes with fully-functional LED lights that bring the mini scene to life. Each box includes a pre-wired lighting system; once assembled you just connect as per instructions and power it up (via USB or batteries depending on variant) to watch your miniature glow with warm ambiance.

    Is it beginner-friendly?

    Absolutely. Whether you’re new to DIY kits or a seasoned hobbyist, we’ve designed this with clear, numbered pieces, full-colour instructions and no painting or soldering required. Just patience, creativity and an appreciation for detail.

    • 344 pre-cut wooden pieces (pre-colored, no paint needed)
    • Warm LED lighting set

    • Mini accessories and décor details

    Customer photo review of Bukchon Hanok Village Book Nook Kit

    It was challenging. This one took a lot more glue than others. Thank goodness for the spare parts. The switch is working well, but needs to be tightened once in a while.

    Customer photo review of Bukchon Hanok Village Book Nook Kit

    Another great book nook from Anavrin showcasing the historic Bukchon Hanok village neighborhood in Seoul that includes traditional South Korean houses and the iconic Seoul tower as a backdrop. Dark-tiled curved roofs, and wood-and-stone architecture contrasted against the backdrop of modern city skyscrapers. Fun to put together and the finished product is timeless.

    Customer photo review of Seoul Hipjiro Book Nook Kit

    The end result is beautiful! But there were a few things I wasn’t crazy about. The first being that there is a great deal of ” Fussy work” Involving very tiny pieces of plastic that were not the easiest to work with, if you’re older.. I love the lighting. The one thing I disliked outright was at the beginning: you had to add the back piece and it did nothing but keep falling over throughout the entire build. It drove me crazy. But the end result was spectacular! My son will love it. Thank you Anvarin!

    Customer photo review of Old Shanghai Book Nook Kit

    This is my third Anavrin build and I can honestly say I consider this my legacy piece. It’s my Hands-down favorite kit that I’ve ever assembled. The quality and detail is astonishing! I had no problems. The wiring was perfect in terms of fit and length and the pieces are made of thick wood and beautifully detailed acrylic. I would rate this an intermediate to advanced kit, but if you just follow the very clear directions, I think most anyone could do it. This is my all-time favorite company. I’m getting ready to build the Seoul Kit, next. Thank you, Anavrin. Your kits cost a little more but they are worth every penny!

    Customer photo review of Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition

    Loved it & looks amazing finished. Looks like a piece of art and all the tiny details are amazing. Instructions were very clear and easy to understand. Had so much fun building it, though it did only take 6-7 hours. Sadly one of my deers was broken, but it looks good without it too. The touch-power button did not work well, but I tried adding some aluminium foil and it seems to work better.. Wish the music box played something more fantasy-ish music, but it sounds nice.

    Customer photo review of Lijiang Ancient Town Book Nook Kit

    This was a challenging build! That being said, if you take your time and are patient You will be blown away at the end just as I was! This kit is the highest quality of any kit. I’ve built to date.. The directions were clear, although somehow I messed up and can’t get the dust cover on the front. But building the lanterns and assembling the umbrellas really took the build to another level. I would consider myself experienced and it still took me several days at 5 to 6 hours a day. It’s worth the time and the money. I would recommend this over any other brand and I have built them all.

    Customer photo review of Cats Crossing Book Nook Kit

    Cat's crossing was so much fun to put together! The greenery was great and added a good touch to the overall aesthetic. I love that you can arrange the books however you want. This detail makes it easy to create a unique look for yourself. The only problem I have had is with the on/off button. It doesn't work when installed. It works when not installed though. Still a fun build and a good looking finish.

    Customer photo review of Ikseon-dong Hanok Bakery Miniature House Kit

    Best experience I’ve had building a book nook, the pieces fit together so well and the instructions were incredibly clear thanks to the large colour printing. I added a few extra customisations just to make it my own and I absolutely love how it turned out!

    Customer video review of Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition

    What a centerpiece! I adore it. Turned out so well. Very enchanting and it was so much fun to embellish with various static grasses and vines I had on hand. I caked the tree with the fake grass by using B-7000 glue and dipping the tree in it. I also used some of the fiber fill from the deer boxes on the waterfall ridge for a misty mountain effect.

    Customer photo review of Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition

    This was a difficult build to be honest. Some very fiddly parts. I had some fit issues and some of the instructions were not very clear. I feel like I had to use a lot more glue than in previous builds. The on/off switch doesn't work when installed. It is a gorgeous end product though. I enjoyed the overall experience.

    Customer photo review of Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition

    This was really fun to build! It’s so cool to have a music box with the beautiful lights that showcase this magical little world. The only reason I have this 4 stars instead of 5 is because the specs seem to be a bit off at the base. The music box will get stuck because there isn’t enough clearance between the base that it’s contained in so you have to jiggle the box a bit to get the music box to continue playing through.

    Only really getting into the meat of the kit, but I am enjoying the challenge. It’s not easy, and you have to concentrate, but that’s great for stress relief. The detailing is great, the pieces are superbly cut from the boards, and the look is quality. I’ll do another after Kyoto.

    One of my favourites! A really beautifully crafted book nook. Every miniature detail feels intentional, from the warm architectural textures to the delicate bread displays, creating a truly immersive scene. The build quality is excellent, with clean components and a satisfying assembly process. Once completed, it becomes a stunning display piece that adds depth and character to any shelf or reading space, especially when illuminated, where it truly comes to life.
