The magic city never lacks the illusion of the scene, but if I choose one of the most magical and charming places of light and shadow, it must be 1933 old field square. 1933 Old Changfang was originally a slaughterhouse for the Shanghai Ministry of Industry, which was a full reinforced concrete structure designed by famous British designer Balfour. It blends East and West characteristics in architectural style, and can see both the cold and bloody like the ancient Roman gladiatorial field, and it also fits the traditional concept of "Tianyuan place" in Chinese feng shui. 📝 Every time I walk into 1933, it is not only a little cold, but also from the characteristics of its architecture: cold and heavy reinforced concrete and metal fences that have been removed, but can still see various traces. On the other hand, it also stems from its use, how many lives have ended here. I was a little sorry at the beginning of the period, how could such a delicate and wonderful, fortress-like building be used to slaughter livestock and end life. Later, walking inside often see many places from the upper layer or do not know where to drip water droplets, knocking on the stone bar, suddenly a scene will flash in the mind: not the panic eyes of death and how far away the cry can not be heard, But the butchers wearing rubber boots and rubber aprons, holding heavy faucets to brush the blood of the ground... those drops dripping from time to time seem to be unable to see the road to life to go to the joy, there is no time to fall into the soul of rotation, trapped in the water droplets, Still nourishing the building. So its light is more vivid, its shadow more spiritual.

    1933 is a complex of restaurants and shops in Hongkou District of Shanghai. This ugly and imposing building once housed the Shanghai Municipal Council Slaughterhouse, the largest slaughterhouse in Shanghai at the time. Today it has been repurposed as a unique creative park and arts space where visitors can browse the many shops, restaurants, cafes, studios and workspaces.

    1933 Old Changfang is located in Hongkou District, formerly the Eid al-Adha farm of Shanghai Ministry of Industry Bureau. It was built by the Ministry of Industry Bureau in 1933, and the architectural style blends East and West characteristics. The overall building can be seen in the ancient Roman Basilica style.

    Come to the old field square in 1933 to check in. After checking in, I searched for nearby food to find a place to eat, and found such a place. As a loyal fan of old friends, how could you miss this restaurant? After entering, I feel that it is very different from the decoration in Guangzhou. I don't know if it is a family, but the big window is quite good. Beautiful nearby

    In the former slaughterhouse, it would feel a little depressed to walk into the building. The building is quite distinctive, with umbrella columns, cattle roads, and some strange layouts looking inside.

    Very distinctive building, but it does feel a bit gloomy. There are very few merchants inside, and there is nothing open, and I feel that the business is not very good.
