1933 Old Millfun

A former slaughterhouse in Hongkou offers an unusual concrete maze of bridges, stairs and curved passages, making its architecture the main reason to stop here.

1933 Old Millfun

Why go

The building’s past becomes legible through its circulation. Bridged walkways and curved staircases connect heavy concrete structures that were designed for industrial work in 1933. Repurposing introduced restaurants, shops and creative businesses, but the visitor value remains the physical arrangement of the former slaughterhouse. Look across the open spaces before following the passages to understand how the parts connect.

What to look for

  • Bridged walkways connecting poured-concrete structures
  • Curved staircases and thick walls inside the former slaughterhouse
  • Industrial façades preserved from the 1933 complex

Useful to know

  • Explore the shared architectural spaces before choosing a café or shop.
  • Expect stairs and changing levels; verify an appropriate route if step-free access is essential.
