What exactly is the Lijiang Ancient Town Book Nook Kit?
Inspired by the tranquil canals and cobblestone streets of Yunnan’s UNESCO-listed Old Town, this kit lets you recreate one of China’s most enchanting heritage towns in miniature. Every archway, hanging umbrella, and glowing lantern tells a story of peace, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty. Build it piece by piece and bring a quiet evening in Lijiang to life on your bookshelf.
Does it come with working lights? How does it work?
Yes, every ANAVRIN kit includes a pre-wired LED lighting system that adds warmth and realism to your build. Once assembled, simply insert 2 × AAA batteries into the battery box, switch it on, and watch your miniature glow softly through the lanterns and windows. The gentle illumination adds a serene, cozy atmosphere, perfect for display during quiet evenings.
Is it beginner-friendly?
Yes, it’s perfect for both first-time builders and experienced crafters. Every wooden piece is pre-colored, precisely cut, and numbered for easy assembly. The average build time is about 7 to 12 hours, making it a relaxing and rewarding weekend project. No painting or advanced tools required, just patience and creativity.
What’s inside the box?
Everything you need to bring Lijiang to life. The kit includes pre-colored wooden pieces, LED lighting with a battery box, a detailed English instruction manual, a protective dust cover, and beautiful miniature décor such as lanterns, bridges, umbrellas, and even a small white puppy.
(Glue and batteries are not included due to shipping restrictions.)
What makes Anavrin’s kits special?
Every ANAVRIN design is born from our own journeys and firsthand experiences. The Lijiang Ancient Town Book Nook was inspired by our visit to this beautiful Yunnan town, where wooden bridges cross calm canals and paper umbrellas line narrow streets. We wanted to capture that sense of peace and nostalgia, allowing you to experience the soul of Lijiang through your own hands.

Do I need any extra tools?
You’ll only need a silicone-based craft glue and a pair of scissors or tweezers. Everything else is included in the box.
