yurt; round felt tent used by pastoral nomads
Specifically refers to the traditional portable dwelling of Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Mongolian and other Turkic/Mongolic pastoral peoples in Central Asia and Xinjiang. Constructed with a collapsible wooden lattice frame covered with thick felt. While functionally similar to the Mongolian ger (蒙古包), the term 毡房 is more commonly associated with Turkic-style yurts featuring a taller, narrower profile.
