Tibet’s First Palace – Yumbulakhang
Known as Tibet’s first Palace, Yumbulakhang was built for Tibet’s first king, Nyatri Tsanpo, in the 2nd Century BC and became the Tibetan Kings’ palace since then. Yumbulakhang was also the summer palace of famous Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo and his pretty wife Princess Wencheng from Tang Dynasty. Later, it became a Gelugpa monastery during the reign of the fifth Dalai Lama after Songtsen Gampo moved to the capital Lhasa in the 7th Century.
