We delivered 46 elevators (including 30 of our latest-model inverter-controlled high-speed elevators having a speed of 150 m/min) to the Bank of China's headquarters (on Changan Avenu in Beijing), which opened in May 2001.

The headquarters building of the Bank of China was constructed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is a low-rise building with 15 above-ground floors, 4 basements, and a total floor area of 170,000 square meters. The architecture and interior are of a novel design by a world-famous architectural designer, based on an ancient Chinese art called feng shui. The entrance jambs of the passenger elevators are made of mirror-finished stainless steel and a cage with double-laminate glass on the inside, a gorgeous, eye-catching design.
