The architecture pays attention to unity, symmetry and stability, and the facade decoration is very particular. Each floor adopts classical style columns, which are either load-bearing or just decorative.

About the Bank of China Building on the Bund, No.23 Zhongshan East 1st Road, a historic building in Shanghai.

The original site of the Bank of China Building is the German Association in Shanghai. 19 14 since the outbreak of the first world war, Germany has been taken over by China. China Bank bought it for 632,000 silver dollars, and it was converted into a bank building on 1922, a new building on 1934, and completed on 1937. This building is the only one on the Bund (Zhongshan East 1st Road) designed and built by China people, and it is one of the most successful skyscrapers in Shanghai. The Bank of China Building is divided into two buildings, the west building is a four-story reinforced concrete structure building, the east building is the main building, with a height of 15, a basement of 2, and a steel frame structure of *** 17. The square spire with China national style is adopted, and other railings and panes are treated with China national characteristics, with hollowed-out patterns on both sides of each floor. Bank of China Tower is a successful building that combines modern western architecture with traditional architecture in China. The Bank of China was scheduled to build a 34-story building, making it the tallest building in Shanghai. It was designed by Lu Qianshou, the architect of the Construction Department of China Bank, with foreign architects from British commercial companies and foreign firms as consultants, and built by the first-class Taoguiji Construction Factory. Victor Sasson, the owner of Sasson Building next door, stepped in and proposed that the height should not exceed the pyramid spire of Sasson Building. The lawsuit went from Nanjing to London. As a result, the Bank of China abandoned its original plan, and the new building was 60 centimeters shorter than the top of the pyramid of Sassoon Building. 1937, after the building was completed, both the head office of China Bank and Shanghai Branch moved into the new building. Soon, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, Shanghai fell, and the headquarters of China Bank was forced to move to the mainland.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Bank of China took over the Japanese Yokohama Zhengyin Bank, the German Dehua Bank and the China Bank reorganized by Wang Pseudo.
