Which minority lives in the bunker?

Tibetans are mainly distributed in Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu and western Sichuan. In order to adapt to the climate and environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, most traditional Tibetan houses are made of stone and shaped like bunkers, so they are called "bunkers".

Tibetan bunkers generally have three or four floors. Raising animals at the bottom and stacking feed and sundries; Bedroom, kitchen, etc. Set on the second floor; There is a hall on the third floor. Because Tibetans believe in Tibetan Buddhism, Buddhist temples occupy an important position, and people can't live or pile up sundries above the shrine, so they are all located on the top floor of the house. In order to expand the indoor space, the second floor often highlights the wall surface. The lightweight building is in sharp contrast with the thick stone wall, and the appearance of the building is full of changes.

The colors of Tibetan dwellings are simple and harmonious, and the natural colors of materials are basically adopted: the soil is khaki, the stones are beige, cyan and dark red, and the wooden parts are painted dark red, which is in contrast with the brightly colored walls. On the wall made of coarse stone, there are rows of trapezoidal windows with large and small windows with colorful eaves. Against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds on the plateau and snow-capped mountains and glaciers, the bunker is regular in shape, colorful and rugged in style.
