NorbuLingka, Lhasa

Beautiful,national decorations on the gate

NorbuLingka is named the Summer Palace, located west of Lhasa. NorbuLingka was built in 1755. That's where the later generations after the 7th Dalai Lama deal with affairs, hold celebrations and spend the hot season, rest and conduct religious activities. In the mid-March every year, Dalai will move here from the Potala Palace, stay here until the end of October and then return to the Potala Palace. So, NorbuLingka is called "the summer palace" and the Potala Palace "the winter palace". The garden covers an area of 46 acres, with 370 rooms of different sizes. In the garden people worship Buddha, spend their holiday, and study the Tibetan-style palaces.
