Apartment orientation is a major selling point in Chinese real estate.
朝南 (south-facing) is most desirable, warm in winter, cool in summer, good light.
朝北 is least desirable. Listings always state
朝向 (orientation):
南北通透 (south-north through-ventilated) is premium. Buyers and renters specifically ask
几面采光 (how many sides get light).
