Every city has a history that can be traced back through time in terms of its buildings, cuisine, local traditions, folklore and clothing. The history of Shanghai can be traced back many years as an international trading hub, which resulted in a fusion of eastern and western cultures. Buildings, such as those on the Bund, including the Shikumen houses can be found all around downtown, many buildings express different glorious types of foreign architecture. Among these, the 1933 Old Shanghai Slaughterhouse is one example of timeless architecture. I would like to introduce this historic building.

I am a person who quite likes eating so I am always a little chubby. However, it’s a pity that I don’t know how to cook at all. In my house, my mother is the chef and when she is away my husband takes over.
Now I am a mother of two kids and I realize that I should start to better my cooking skills to improve my children’s appetites because they are rather picky eaters. Several months ago I started cooking desserts for the first time because I have a sweet tooth and I think it will be easy to adapt to cooking if I learn baking first. I bought an oven and some ingredients, like butter, flour and whipping cream. The first dessert I made was Egg tart. Because I had bought the Egg tart pastry online, all I had to do was make the tart filling. It was rather easy, just weigh the ingredients, mix them and add the mixture to the pastry and bake. The result, I made mouth-watering Egg tarts! My son and daughter praised my dessert and I had felt very motivated to make more desserts.

The 1933 Old Slaughterhouse was designed by a famous English designer in 1930’s and built in 1940’s. It was applied as a cattle slaughthouse at the beginning and transfered to medicine factory in the 70’s of last century and now it’s function is commerce and combined with tourism. It is a grey, about five-story cement rectangle building at first sight. There is a main buiding in the cencter, where there was the place cattles were slaughter, and four annexes in four directions. There are several ramps in The inside of main building for herding the cattle in the past, and lattice windows in walls for the circulation of air as slaughtering prodcing smelly odour. The annexes have up-and-down starecases and platforms connecting the main part. Whenever I stroll on these staircases, I have a imagination that I am walking in a maze. In present, this old slaughthouse is a multi-functional zone, full of restaurants, cafes and unique-style shops. People can enjoy their eyes and stomach both When they spend their time in it.
