Besides buying books and checking in, the RexKL building itself has a fascinating story—formerly a cinema, it's now a creative and cultural space, and occasionally hosts markets and exhibitions. Be sure to keep an eye out for official announcements for surprise events.

[Real Tips]
1. The bookstore entrance is tucked away in a small alley and easily accessible from Pasar Seni (after exiting the MRT station, walk straight along Jalan Sultan until you see the REXKL sign).
2. The bookstore is truly enormous, so plan at least an hour to explore it. Make sure your phone and camera are fully charged, as you won't be able to stop checking in! 📸
3. Some corners have lounge areas/cafés where you can relax after a long day of browsing.
4. After 7 PM, the crowds thin out, creating a more relaxing atmosphere and less awkward photo opportunities.
5. If you're traveling with children, head to the second-floor children's area, where they sometimes have picture book and storytelling activities.

[Transportation & Neighborhood Guide]
BookXcess RexKL is very conveniently located:
- Take the MRT/LRT to Pasar Seni Station, which is about a 5-minute walk away.
- There's also a bus stop nearby, making taxis a convenient option.

Before or after browsing the bookstore, grab a snack: Pasar Seni is home to a plethora of local favorites, including Jin Lian Ji Hokkien Mee and Madam Kwan's, or simply take a break at the cafe in the basement of the RexKL building.
