Norbu Lingka||Hidden in the Jiangnan Garden of Tibet

||Hidden in the Jiangnan Garden of Tibet.🍁 Norbu Lingka is a national key cultural relics protection unit, located in the western suburbs of Lhasa, Tibet. It was built in the 1740s (the 7th Dalai Lama) and is a typical Tibetan-style garden where the Dalai Lamas of all generations spent their summers and governed. 🍁 Norbu Lingka, meaning Treasure Garden, contains a large number of relics and treasures. The garden has more than 300 rooms and is a large and exquisite garden in the history of Tibet. 🍁 Norbu Lingka has a beautiful environment, with many types and quantities of plants and flowers, shaded by trees, like the 'Shangri-La' of Lhasa. 🍁 Norbu Lingka is about 1 kilometer long and about 500 meters wide, and can be visited on foot. The garden is divided into three areas: the front garden area at the entrance of the east side, the core palace area in the middle, and the golden forest area in the west, which is mainly composed of plant forests. The trees in the front garden area are very dense, with more than 100 kinds of plants, including precious flowers from all over Tibet and even from the mainland and abroad, known as the 'Plateau Botanical Garden'. 🍁 As soon as you enter the garden, there are dense and tall trees in front of you, covering the buildings inside, with only the wide stone path under your feet leading people forward. Because there are not many tourists, the garden has a rare sense of tranquility, the sun shines through the dense leaves and spills on the stone slabs very quietly, the flowers on both sides are diverse and colorful, and the scenery is very rare in Lhasa. 🍁 The core palace area and the palaces are all carefully built at that time, with the Tibetan style of golden roofs and red and white walls as the main, and most of the layout is built by water. In the middle of the garden is a small lake. Walking into the lake pavilion in the middle of the water, you can see towering ancient trees and grass everywhere. The surrounding pavilions, water pavilions, and corridors complement each other, making it feel like you have come to the Suzhou Gardens, which is very beautiful. 🍁 The Buddha Hall, the Scripture Hall, the Dharma Protector Temple and other religious atmospheres are strong, and the Buddha statues, Thangkas, murals, etc., are either dazzling or rich, all are art treasures. At the same time, because there are Han Chinese ministers stationed in Tibet to help build, there are many Han Chinese art works with themes similar to 'Fu Lu Shou Xi', which are novel. 📍Address: 21 Norbu Lingka, Chengguan District, Lhasa City, Tibet Autonomous Region 🎫Tickets: Free in winter (2023.11.01-2024.3.15) tips: The zoo charges separately 20 yuan, sightseeing car 20 yuan ⏰Opening hours: 9:30-16:30 Recommended play time: 2h-3h
