Explore this colonial-era mansion is in the French Concession area and was built by Eric Moller, who became wealthy from British shipping, in 1936. The distinctive design includes brown tiled Gothic and Tudor gables, spires, and steeples. It has been renovated to preserve its original style and today houses a hotel and is a great place for afternoon tea and strolling along the gardens.
This unique complex of restaurants and shops once housed the Shanghai Municipal Council Slaughterhouse, the largest slaughterhouse in Shanghai. It is described by the Atlas Obscura travel guide as "an eerie Gotham-Deco achievement in concrete, glass, and steel, and the last remaining of its design in the world." Curved staircases, bridged walkways, and thick walls give the complex a unique industrial and bizarre aura.
Zhou Enlai (1898?1976), was the first Premier of the People's Republic of China from 1949 until his death. The three-story French style house was built in the 1920s. It was the Shanghai Office of the Delegates of the Communist Party of China in 1946, listed as a municipal relic in 1959 and became a memorial in 1979.
