Factory 933


Some of you might have been in Beijing's 798 district. There are many factories where the Chinese army used to manufacture weapons but has later turned into an art district.

In Shanghai they also have a factory like this called 933 because it was build in 1933. It't a old factory which looks a lot like a big maze. It was raining yesterday when I was here so there were very little people which is very unusual in China!
Build back in 1933
I'm not exactly sure what they used to produce here before bot now it's full of small shops, art studios and coffee places. There were also some owner clubs like for all people with Ferraris. Seems that if you buy a Ferrari in China you get a special card you can swipe and get into the Ferrari Owners Club.
It's build like a maze and the top floor is made of glass so you can see down to the lower floors. Was kinda freaky walking on glass, was not sure it's gonna hold :)
The view from 933 is great, far beyong you can see the super modern buildings and next to it houses that look like they will fall apart by themselves any moment. These old houses don't look very waterproof either if there would be another heavy rain like 2 weeks ago.

Roof-garden, more and more popular in China when the inflation is 20% annually and safety of food isn't always the best...This way you know what you eat!
