Bank of China Building, Art Deco bank building in Central District, Hong Kong.
The Bank of China Building rises 17 floors above Des Voeux Road Central, featuring sharp geometric lines and stepped facade details characteristic of Art Deco architecture.
The structure replaced the eastern section of the old City Hall in 1950, marking a transformation from colonial architecture to modern financial buildings in Hong Kong.
The China Club occupies the top three floors of the building, offering a dining experience that reflects the 1930s Shanghai banking environment.
The building functions as a sub-branch of Bank of China Hong Kong, providing financial services in the Central business district.
The architects Palmer & Turner designed this structure to compete with the neighboring HSBC building for dominance of Hong Kong's skyline in the 1950s.
