The horse rack built by residents can also live for a long time between the shack and the main house. Such as thatched cottages with earth walls, adobe walls, thatched roofs, doors and windows. The horse rack is shaped like a lying horse. It has only one gable in the south, and its doors and windows are all open on the Nanshan wall. This is a horse with its head held high, with a low roof and a thick thatch on its bottom. These thatched roofs are also made of "foreign grass" produced in the northeast.

Or simply build it with a few pieces of wood. It is triangular when viewed from the front and rectangular when viewed from the side. There is grass on it and the door is open on one side of the triangle. Because the building is easy and simple, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is a common residential building in Northeast China in the past.
