This is a research on the Korean immigrant village and house in Yeonbyeon Long-Shan village in China. The house (so called Minga in Korean), which was studied in this paper, is the vernacular architecture of dwelling for the rural people in this area. It is the most common dwelling type.
We can find Korean vernacular influences on the architecture in this area by the Korean-Chinese people. Long- Shan village is laid out with the so called Bae-san-im-su way which means that to the north of the village are mountains, Moa mountain a branch of Baekdu Mountain (白头山), water, Haeran river (海兰江) to the south. The main axis of village layout is made of two roads. The village is mainly developed along the east-west main road follows the southern creek. The other axis is north-south main road and other sub roads branch out from it. The sub roads serve as the transition between main road and the allies, which are the access to individual houses. The main building is usually laid on the northern side of the individual site with garden attached in south. The main entry is usually on eastern side of the main building and the separate service buildings are between the main building and the entry. This also relates to the kitchen location in the main building. Usually the kitchen is on eastern side of the main building and most frequently related with separate service building in function.
