In the North-eastern districts of China, Northern races inherited and developed their own cultural traditions. The housing of northeastern China has been changed under the influence of environment. Some tribes' housings has been developed, keeping their own peculiar style, while others have divested of their ethnic flavor. To understand these aspects of development, this study focused on the housings in Heilongjiang and Nei Monggol. As for the procedure, this study referred to the literature and carried out a field trip at the same time. The housing of northeastern China has undergone the process to fix their residence after the life of migration in common. In this process, northeastern hosing has changed variously and can be grouped into the several types by shape and material. From the point of view about living pattern, some important living features are extracted by the types.
