Traditional buildings are located in the west facing east.

First of all, from a big perspective, China is located in the northern hemisphere, so most of the sunshine we see comes from the south. Compared with a mountain stretching from east to west, the south slope of the mountain is sunny and the north slope is shady, which is more conducive to plant growth. People, too, want to bathe in the sunshine, so it's best to sit in a house facing south in China.

As for me living in the North China Plain, it is the best choice to sit facing south naturally. In the North China Plain, the northwest wind blows in winter, and the houses facing south face the northwest wind, and the southeast wind blows here in summer. It seems that this pattern is more conducive to people's living and life. Most houses in North China Plain have yards. If you sit facing south, you can plant flowers, grass and vegetables in the yard, etc., which can fully absorb the sun. Another example is the quadrangle in Beijing, where the purlin faces south and the east belong to the wing, which is also called the wing. Another example is the caves in northern Shaanxi, where houses also face south. Although most of them are buried underground, one is to avoid the cold and windy weather. This kind of house can adapt to the local geographical environment, and the most important thing is to cooperate with people's living life.

Of course, there are other houses. For example, the sea view rooms facing the tidal sea in low latitudes have no direction, in order to take beautiful scenery, the hotels where tourists stay and so on. What are the characteristics of what kind of house? I think it's better for most houses in China to face south. In this case, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is suitable for people to live and live. Moreover, this is also a convention and a necessary pattern for more people to choose to build houses.
