Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions

The Shanghai General Trade Union Building, formerly known as the Bank of Communications Building, is located on the Bund No. 14 Zhongshan East Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai. In 1951, the Shanghai General Trade Union moved into this building to work. It is now a key cultural relics protection unit in the country and an excellent historical building in Shanghai. The building is decorated in a decorative style, with a solemn and simple appearance. Shanghai's model labor style exhibition is displayed on the first floor.

Located in the Bund World Building Land, No. 14 Zhongshan East Road, is the seat of the Shanghai General Union. There is a bronze medal for excellent historical buildings at the door. There is a building introduction. There is also a billboard at the door. The model worker hall is available for visit. Generally, people who go to the Bund don’t dare to enter such a tall door. Go, in fact, the first floor is can be visited, there is an introduction of the model of work from all generations, there is a model class on weekends, and the model class will be invited to lecture on the spot and interact. Friends who happen to be playing on the Bund can go shopping.

The General Union, with a model exhibition, can take a closer look, this city today, is composed of countless models of labor to pay tribute to them. Their spirit of dedication is worth the learning of all workers.

Before the liberation of the building was the headquarters of the Bank of Communications, Mayor Chen Yi in 51 years specially approved to change to the Shanghai General Union, is the youngest in the Bund building (built in 48 years), designed by Hungarian architect Hongda. Only visit the model worker style museum on the first floor, introducing 155 model workers, from the first generation of Yang Huaiyuan to the new era of labor model after the reform and opening up. The era is developing, and many contemporary models come from high-tech fields or from private enterprises. The concept of model labor is definitely not the same as when I was reading. You can make an appointment for a guided tour at 2 pm, and you can take a model labor bookmark at the door. In addition to the simple appearance, the building was built next to the customs building, and it was robbed of a lot of the popularity.

The visit time is half an hour on WeChat. The exhibition hall on the first floor is open - the model exhibition hall on the first floor. There are special staff to take a look on the second floor and visit the exhibition hall on the first floor + explain. Overall a bit boring.
