Your China on the move.

This 1930s building (and one-time largest abattoir in East Asia) has been reconstructed into a new recreational destination for locals and expats, bringing together clothing boutiques, tech shops and restaurants. The glass-floored gallery on the top level isn't for those afraid of heights.

  The 1933 building is an architectural gem. Situated amongst dilapidated Chinese terrace houses, the 1933 displays true Bauhaus architecture. Inside the building the curved concrete stairwells criss cross overhead, seeminly more for aesthetics rather than function, it works though. If you would like to spend an afternoon here at the 1933, I would suggest visiting when it plays host to the monthly Charity Flea Market. Enjoy the architecture and pick up some handcrafted goods all in one lazy afternoon.

  Wonderful architecture. Truly. But the location is far away from anything convenient. And the little art there is mediocre.

  Amazing venue. Ladies, beware of the top floor glass floors.

  Architecture like this can't be built any longer. This could turn out to be the coolest destination in Shanghai.
