What are the bungalows in Beijing like?

Bungalow is too general, the city (the second ring road within the old city) are called "courtyard", all are gray tile roof, spacious and bright houses, especially in the east and west of the city, many of the houses are Ming and Qing dynasties of the residence of the great officials and dignitaries, although with the passage of time, many of the houses have been changed beyond recognition, but still can see the splendor of the year; Xuanwu, Chongwen two districts are mainly the residence of merchants and families as well as ordinary people's homes, which is especially the former door outside the polishing factory Xin Ge Road.
