Constructed in 1950, the old Bank of China building now houses the bank’s Central branch and, on its top floors, the exclusive members-only China Club, which evokes the atmosphere of old Shànghǎi. The BOC is now headquartered in the awesome Bank of China Tower to the southeast, designed by Chinese-born American architect IM Pei and completed in 1990.
