I have my eye on two downtown houses in Taiyuan, Shanxi, one facing northwest (north) and the other northeast (east). Which direction is better? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

relatively speaking, of course, it is better to face northeast. One is that the lighting is better, and when you get up early, you can face the morning sun, feeling refreshed and satisfied with the lighting, and then there is a saying that "purple gas comes from the east". The disadvantages of the northwest direction are: the northwest wind is relatively straight, the indoor temperature will be reduced, and the dust will be polluted. In addition, from the big natural environment, the northwest direction is the tuyere. As for the number of floors, of course, the lower floors are better (4-7), which can avoid the low indoor temperature in winter without affecting the lighting. If there is room, you can look elsewhere, otherwise, choose the one with the window facing northeast. I am a decorator, you can refer to it.
