1933 Old Milfun




Get in quick before the retail and office spaces move in.  An old abattoir built in the 1930s - it's an architectural masterpiece.  A labyrinthine concrete complex - complete with gangways, tight stairways and dark gloomy back alleys.


How something so beautiful was made for slaughtering animals I will never know.  I hope the pigs got to appreciate it on the way out…



I have a bad feeling it won't be empty for long though - businesses are already moving in.  So if you're in Shanghai over the next couple of months definitely put this one on your to do list.
