Closing:

As you can see China’s culture and architecture is truly amazing. Houses were being built in the sides of mountains, and the detail and design of the other houses around the regions were amazing. With somewhat same values continued through out the houses around the regions. Even the modern day buildings are a sight to see. The detail and creativity that were put into the Olympic building in Beijing is astonishing. Economically wise China’s shift from the traditional buildings to more of a modern style has done well, but they need to find balance to be able to still hold on the masterpieces of the past.
