Thanks to its forward-looking concept and world-class creative design capability, YANG has brought great value to clients and created culture cards for cities, winning high praise from international hotel operators and good reputation in the industry.

Proudly being the leader in China’s culturally distinctive hotel design, YANG has been pursuing an international way to present regional cultures and oriental aesthetics.
