Explore Shanghai 1933 Old Millfun | Architectural poetry in time.

| Architectural poetry in time.📍Location: No. 611 Liyang Road, Hongkou District (near Shajing Road) ✔️Opening hours: 9:00-22:00 At No. 611 Liyang Road, Hongkou, there is a nearly century-old architectural legend - 1933 Old Millfun. It is like a wise man of time, standing quietly, silently telling stories of the past. This building, born in 1933, was carefully carved by the British architect Balfour. The overall style combines the grandeur of the ancient Roman basilica with the traditional Chinese philosophy of "round sky and square earth", with a square exterior and a round interior, simple and profound. "Beamless floor", "umbrella column", "corridor bridge", "spiral staircase", "cattle path", these unique elements are intertwined, light and shadow jump between them, space changes like a dream, every step seems to step into a mysterious maze, different seasons, time, angles, can encounter different beauty. The former slaughterhouse has now been transformed into a cradle of creative industries. It successfully interprets the reuse of industrial heritage, not only preserving the historical charm, but also injecting new vitality into the city, becoming a source of cultural and economic vitality in Shanghai, a shining milestone in the city's development, and an excellent model for urban renewal around the world.
