Yumbulhakang |
Towering at the summit if Mt. Tashitseri east bank of Yarlung River, Yumbulhakang is the first palace as well as one of the earliest constructions in Tibet. The legend says, it was established by “Bon” religious believers for the first Tibetan King Nyetri Tsanpo during the 2nd century B.C., and later it turned to be the summer palace of king Songtsan Gampo and Princess Wencheng in Shannan. Till the reign of the 5th Dalai Lama, it was converted to a monastery of the yellow sect.
