The majority of the population live in high rise apartments, there arent that many private homes in China. Or unattached housing units. In some cities in the hutongs, which sadly are being demolished in many cities to make room for highrise condos and apartments, you still see the old style home with a courtyard, traditionally the whole family lived in these little "complexes". I have always wanted to have a house like that, surrounded by a high wall with an inner courtyard There are three wings, surrounded by a high wall, with the inner courtyard that traditionaly contained a garden, flowers etc, but that doesnt seem to be the case now. They are occupied by at least 3 families, usually relatives such as offspring. In rural areas, farming and fishing villages there are rows of attached single storey housing, and in some there are apartments as well, which are a recent addition. Many people live behind their shops too -- Only when you get right into an agricultural rural area do you see individual houses - these are made out of stone, clay or cement, but again you do see row housing in some of these small communities. I assume some of the very wealthy may have private homes, I havent seen any myself. In resort areas, such as Jinshitan you will see unattached condos located within gated communties

Most of the Chinese live along the coastal cities which is also the developed cities in China. For more destinations, you can visit the link below: http://www.chinatravel.com/destination/

south and east of China are populous. The Chinese population is unevenly distributed, with the eastern part heavily populated (more than 300 persons per square kilometer) and the west scarcely populated (about 40 persons per square kilometer). The national average density of population is 119 per square kilometer (1990 census).

The following website is devoted to population growth and distribution in China. The quote paragraphs reference maps and charts that are on the site, so you'll need to go there to view them. http://www.iiasa.ac.at/Research/LUC/ChinaFood/argu/trends/trend_10.htm "A major characteristic of China’s demographic situation is the concentration of its large population in the eastern part of the country, especially in the coastal zones. Much of China’s land is virtually uninhabited, such as the Gobi Desert, the steep slopes of the Himalayas, and the vast dry grasslands of the north-central region. I have used population and area data for 2,550 counties, cities, and city districts from the Chinese Ministry of Public Security to analyze the spatial distribution of the Chinese population in 1992. First, I calculated the densities of all spatial units and sorted them in decreasing order. Then I totaled both the land areas and the population (see Table 4). "(1) Nearly 115 million people (or 10% of the population) live in an area of only 47,000 square kilometers. This is just 0.5% of China's total landmass. The average population density in the most densely populated counties and cities is 2,428 people per square kilometer. "(2) Fifty percent of the Chinese population lives in an area of 778,000 square kilometers, which represents only about 8.2% of the total land. This area has an average population density of 740 people per square kilometer. "(3) Roughly 1 billion Chinese (or more than 90% of the population) live in only a little more than 30% of the country’s land area. The population density of this area is 354 people per square kilometer. Almost all of China's population is concentrated in less than one-third of the country, where the average population density is greater than that of Belgium. "Map 4 illustrates the geographical concentration of the Chinese population. The Yangtze Delta, Sichuan, and the counties and cities along the eastern coast are the main population centers. In contrast, 50% of China's landmass is very sparsely populated, with a density ranging from 2 people per square kilometer in Tibet to 19 people per square kilometer in Inner Mongolia. Only 3.6% of the country’s population lives in these vast areas." Good luck!
