According to the survey, Hefei replaced Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, at the top position of the annual ranking this year. Following Hefei in the ranking were Zhengzhou, Wenzhou and Kunming.
Big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou were nowhere to be found in the top 10.
Unlike last year's ranking, which was dominated by southern cities, this year the split between northern and southern cities was even.
The survey showed that "The Storied Life of Aj Fikery," "The Unworried Store" and "The So Slow So Beautiful" were the three most popular books among readers.
The most popular e-books were "The Unworried Store," "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" and "The Complete Sherlock Holmes."
The survey also spotted a rise in popularity of books on traditional Chinese culture, history and biographies of ancient prominent figures.
