1933 Old Millfun, the beauty of the gallery bridge in a gray world.

On Shajing Road, Hongkou Port, Shanghai, there is an industrial tourism landscape called "1933 Old Millfun". It was originally a slaughterhouse built by the French Concession Ministry of Industry in the 1930s. After a few years of renovation, it is now called 1933 Old Millfun. The entire building of the "Old Millfun" is 5 stories high, but it is "gray" from top to bottom, without any bright appearance, giving people a sense of visual depression. The architecture of the "Old Millfun" is different, showing the structure of the outer square and the inner circle, which implicitly conforms to the traditional Chinese concept of "the sky is round and the earth is square". This architectural design is probably unique in Shanghai and even in the whole country. It stands on Shajing Road on the east bank of Hongkou Port. The entire wall of the main entrance on Shajing Road is also a square and round grille design, which fits the design concept of the entire building. Walking into the interior of the Old Millfun, the first thing that comes into the eyes of tourists is the gallery bridge between the buildings. These gallery bridges are like jumping notes. Dozens of gallery bridges of different lengths and widths connect the entire building with the outer square and the inner circle. In the past, these gallery bridges were actually cattle-driving roads. As a slaughterhouse, countless cattle walked to the end of their lives from here and became delicious food on the human table. At this moment, we seem to hear the last tragic beating sound of the life of the "brother cow" waiting to be slaughtered on the gallery bridge. Today, 1933 Old Millfun allows us to open our eyes and have the opportunity to observe the unique and strange architectural body in the world. As an industrial tourism landscape, the magnificent and spectacular gray world presents the beauty of the soul-stirring architecture. Tourists and photography enthusiasts take photos and check in here, recording the beautiful moments. Here, the tragic cattle slaughter march was once staged; now, what is presented to tourists is the breathtaking beauty of the gallery bridge. Beautiful! 1933 Old Millfun.
