Characteristics of architectural style in Xinjiang

Diversity, national characteristics, regionality and practicality.

1, Pluralism: Xinjiang has been the meeting place of multiculturalism since ancient times, so its architectural style is also characterized by pluralism. In urban and rural areas, we can see different styles of architecture, such as traditional styles of Uygur, Arabic, European and China.

2. Ethnic characteristics: The architectural style of Xinjiang fully reflects the local ethnic characteristics. For example, the architectural style of Uighurs is mainly civil structure, focusing on ventilation and lighting. There are green belts and decorative elements with national characteristics in the courtyard.

3. Regionality: The geographical environment in Xinjiang is complex, and the architectural styles in different regions are also different. For example, buildings in southern Xinjiang are mostly influenced by Islamic culture, while buildings in northern Xinjiang retain the characteristics of traditional buildings in China.

4. Practicality: Xinjiang's architectural style emphasizes practicality. For example, rural houses usually adopt semi-basement or full basement design to adapt to the arid and cold climate conditions. At the same time, the layout of the house also takes into account the living habits and social activities of family members.
