Where are most yurts distributed?

Mongolian yurts are mostly distributed in Inner Mongolia, Mongolia, Siberia and other Asian nomadic areas.

Mongolian yurt is a famous architectural form in the world and a great pioneering work of Asian nomads. The early form of this house may have been used by earlier nomadic people in Asia, and later many nomadic people used it or houses similar to it for a long or short time.

Early human architectural forms with wooden poles as the main supporting materials formed two schools in the course of their development:

One is the traditional architecture of the Oroqen nationality in China, that is, the pillar of thanking people, that is, the spire, with animal skins or bark and grass leaves as thatched covers. The houses of Ewenki people in Siberia, Tibi of American Indians, Gaudi or Lahu of Sami people in northern Europe all belong to this type. The other is the yurt type, that is, the dome wall, which is mainly covered with felt.
