Bank of China (BOC) Tower is located at 1 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong, in the heart of Hong Kong's financial district. The building was constructed in April 1985 and officially opened in May 1990, towering 70 floors above the ground floor level and offering parking in four basement levels. The tower structure of 315 metres and two masts of 50 odd metres give the building its aspiring height of 367.4 metres – which, in 1989, made it the tallest in Hong Kong as well as the fifth by height in the world. It is still one of the tallest buildings in Hong Kong.

The BOC Tower is a masterpiece of the world-renowned Chinese-born architect I.M. Pei. His inspiration for the building's construction was the elegant stature of bamboo, its sectioned trunk reaching higher and higher with each new growth. BOC Tower is symbolic of strength, vitality, growth and enterprise, representing Bank of China (Hong Kong)'s rapid development. The building harmoniously blends modern architecture with traditional Chinese design. Its four prism-shaped shafts reflect the sun's rays like a glittering crystal.

The distinctively designed BOC Tower is one of the city’s major landmarks and has received numerous awards for architectural design, including Ten Best Architecture in Hong Kong from HKIA in 1999; Marble Architectural Award in 1992; AIA Reynolds Memorial Award in 1991; Award for Engineering Excellence from ACEC in 1989; and Certificate of Engineering Excellence from NYACE in 1989, etc. Its architect, Mr. Pei, also received the Smithsonian Institute's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award for Lifetime Achievement on 10 October 2003, an honour bestowed upon him by the United States Government.

The BOC Tower has also received a number of sustainability certifications, including Carbon Neutrality Certificates from China Quality Certification Centre and Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency respectively in 2024, the highest Platinum rating under BEAM Plus EB v2.0 from Hong Kong Green Building Council in 2022; and "Excellent" Award of Hong Kong Building Environmental Assessment Method in 2002, etc.
