Siheyuan is the most important form of Chinese traditional residential home (vernacular dwelling). It is great in number and wide in distribution, popular among the Han, Manchu, Bai and some of other minority groups. Most of the houses are of wood framework. The principal room is built on the south-north axis, and the wing rooms are located on both sides of it. The family elders live in the principal room and wings are bedrooms for the younger generations. Women live in the inner yard. Guests and male servants live in the outer yard. This distribution is in accordance with the feudal regulations. Siheyuan spreads over towns and villages throughout China, but each developed its own characteristics as of result of respective natural conditions and different way of life. Siheyuan in Beijing is the most representative.

Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the world. This is true even as popular culture that has traditionally been considered Western begins to spread throughout China. Kung Fu, especially, has had a great impact on the millions of people who first learned about China through it. From that, they may come to China and learn about other aspects of this culture, such as traditional operas like the Beijing and Sichuan ones. Asian nations have long known about the greatness of ancient Chinese culture. Their own cultures are a mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics.

7． 徐霞客毕生环游考察了十六个省，足迹几乎遍及全国。他在考察旳过程中，历来不盲目迷信书本上旳结论。他发现前人研究地理旳记载有许多很不可靠旳地方。为了进行真实细致旳考察，他很少乘车坐船，几乎全靠双脚翻山越岭，长途跋涉；为了弄清大自然旳真相，他总是挑选道路艰险旳山区，人迹稀少旳森林进行考察，发现了许多奇山秀景；他常常选择不一样旳时间和季节，多次重游各地名山，反复观测变换旳奇景。
Xu Xiake toured and investigated 16 provinces in his lifetime, covering almost the whole of China/ the whole country. When he was carrying out his investigations, he never took blind belief in the conclusions in the books. Instead he found a lot of unreliable points in the geographic records taken by his predecessors. In order to make his investigations reliable and thorough, he seldom traveled by carriage or boat. Instead, he took long, arduous trips on foot almost all the time, climbing mountains and hills. In order to learn about the truth of nature, he always chose to conduct investigations in mountainous areas with dangerous roads and in lonely / untraveled woods, where he discovered a lot of magnificent peaks and beautiful sights.

Since then the West Lake has enjoyed a much higher reputation at home and around the world.
