This week , I wen to "Chinese Island" where Amanda showed us in the first week. The buildings here are also ancient Chinese style architecture.
Most of the Chinese buildings are symmetrical. Some of the decorations also perfectly symmetrical. The lions in front of the gate and the couplets on the columns. I also see bamboos there. I think it could be a sign represent Chinese things in SL.

Buildings with white walls and black roofs are more like some Chinese buildings in Anhui province. Not like summer palace or Forbidden city with red walls and yellow roofs, these kind of buildings are common people live in.

I also find a building with the same features of a kind of traditional Beijing courthouse "Siheyuan." "Si" means four, "He" means harmony and happy, "yuan" is yard. It only has one gate and other three directions surround by houses, just like a square.

Through these weeks observation, I found that in SL, the sims represent China in different places are very similar. When we see these sims we know it's Chinese things.
