Yangtze Hotel was built in 1912, the building style of Yangtze Hotel was obviously influenced by the French castle-like mansion in the Renaissance period. Instead of choosing a Chinese style structure with a huge roof that would have cost a large amount of labor and material, Yangtze Hotel adapted the structure of western architecture while also decorating the building with some Chinese style components and ornamentation. Meanwhile, the whole structure of the hotel was built with Chinese Ming Dynasty city wall bricks.
