Yang began acting at the age of four. She played a minor role as Beggar So's daughter in King of Beggars (1992), which starred Stephen Chow as the titular character. In the late 2000s, Yang rose to fame for her roles in television series such as The Return of the Condor Heroes (2006) and Chinese Paladin 3 (2009). Her popularity increased after she starred as Luo Qingchuan in Palace (2011). Her increase in popularity from her performance in Palace helped land her a role in Gordon Chan's Painted Skin 2.[citation needed] In 2010 she participated in Empires of the Deep, a Chinese-American co-produced film with a budget of US$100 million. In 2011, Mei Ah Entertainment announced that it will be producing four tailored-made films ("Great Wudang", "Chinese Princess Turandot", "Windseeker", and "Butterfly Cemetery") for Yang with a total investment of 300 million yuan for the four films due to the box office success of the horror film Mysterious Island (2011), which starred Yang.
