Beijing quadrangle courtyards -- Huizhou dwellings -- Shaoxing riverside dwellings -- Minxi clay buildings -- Architectural novelty in the homeland of the overseas Chinese -- Ganlan wood house and storm-tossed bridge -- Ancient Lijiang streets -- Tibetan watchtowers.
China has a great diversification in vernacular dwellings, rarely see in the architecture of the world and reflecting a wide variety of different natural and cultural environments. This is a representative selection of traditional Chinese dwellings, considering their architecture and environmental setting, and the lifestyles and customs of the people who inhabit these homes.
