Norbulingka's old buildings and fresco have also been repaired. The city wall, turret, monk's dormitory and other old buildings at Sakya Kloster have also been renovated.</p> <p>The reconstruction of the three cultural relics dates back to June 2002 when the Chinese central government invested RMB330 million for the protection and renovation of the three sites. The Potala Palace, which was built in the seventh century, is a world cultural heritage site. Norbulingka, built in 1751, is the largest garden at the highest altitude in the world, and Sakya Kloster is a main temple for Tibetan Buddhism and home to abundant Tibetan Buddhism files and other rarely-seen cultural relics.</p> <p><strong>Five-courtyard House traditional handicraft skills</strong><br /> It was the designation of the five small conjunctive yards in the period of the Second phase of Repairing the Potala Palace. This building covers an area of 1,020 square meters, and those separated courtyards were the residence of the nobleman, official, serf, groom and the man who was in charge of the royal band.</p> <p>Recently, most of this place is served as a demonstrating center, where we should see the method of producing Tibetan traditional handicrafts, such as painting Thangka, making metal implement, weaving textile, so it is a good place to introduce the unique and rich folklore art in Tibet.</p> </div> <div class="pagebreak">page:<strong><a href="../Html/2007111523261-1.Html">[1]page</a>&nbsp;</strong></div> <div id="txtBottom"> <span>[<A href="javascript:doPrint()"> Printing</A>] [<A class=black href="javascript:window.close()">Closure</A>]</span> </div><!--/ txtBottom--> <div id="next" style="margin-left:20px;"> <div> <p> <span style="font-size:12px; font-weight:bold;">More Information Related to 2007 News</span></p> <ul> <xoYu_CMS_CODE:NEWS:NEWS_TOP><a title="Potala Zhol City" href="../Html/2007111523261-1.Html">Potala Zhol City</a><p><a title="Tibetan drama highlights intl art festival" href="../Html/200711221307-1.Html">Tibetan drama highlights intl art festival</a><p><a title="Win-win co-operation compiles Labrang culture" href="../Html/20071011103644-1.Html">Win-win co-operation compiles Labrang culture</a><p><a title="Tent restaurants popular in Tibet" href="../Html/20071011103453-1.Html">Tent restaurants popular in Tibet</a><p><a title="Lhasa embraces upcoming 17th NCCPC" href="../Html/20071011103232-1.Html">Lhasa embraces upcoming 17th NCCPC</a><p><a title="Carrying forward Buddhism or Fueling Evil Cults?" href="../Html/20071011103030-1.Html">Carrying forward Buddhism or Fueling Evil Cults?</a><p><a title="Tibet road & traffic records issued" href="../Html/20071011102843-1.Html">Tibet road & traffic records issued</a><p><a title="Seeking the lotus holy land" href="../Html/2007101110263-1.Html">Seeking the lotus holy land</a><p><a title="Ownership of Tibet" href="../Html/2007101013557-1.Html">Ownership of Tibet</a><p><a title="Western journalists feel at home" href="../Html/20071010134014-1.Html">Western journalists feel at home</a><p><a title="During the 11 Tibet tourism income over 130 million yuan" href="../Html/20071010111943-1.Html">During the 11 Tibet tourism income over 130 million yuan</a><p><a title="Lhasa: six lines for winter travel is not short" href="../Html/20071010104458-1.Html">Lhasa: six lines for winter travel is not short</a><p><a title="The next three days the temperature started to drop in Tibet" href="../Html/20071010103919-1.Html">The next three days the temperature started to drop in Tibet</a><p><a title="New house for new life" href="../Html/20071010101843-1.Html">New house for new life</a><p><a title="Expert:Natural re-habitation key to Sanjiangyuan wetland renovation" href="../Html/20071010101747-1.Html">Expert:Natural re-habitation key to Sanjiangyuan wetland renovation</a><p><a title="Sichuan-Tibet tunnel group operates" href="../Html/20071010101641-1.Html">Sichuan-Tibet tunnel group operates</a><p><a title="The wrong move of Scenic spots" href="../Html/2007101010116-1.Html">The wrong move of Scenic spots</a><p><a title="Lao Hu Zui Hydropower Station under construction" href="../Html/2007101010855-1.Html">Lao Hu Zui Hydropower Station under construction</a><p><a title="Internet access a boon for deaf and dumb" href="../Html/2007101010551-1.Html">Internet access a boon for deaf and dumb</a><p><a title="Lhasa to build 8 parks this year" href="../Html/2007101010257-1.Html">Lhasa to build 8 parks this year</a><p></xoYu_CMS_CODE:NEWS:NEWS_TOP></ul> </div> </div> </div> <!--/ leftMainContent--> </div><!--/ leftMain--> <div id="rightMain"> <div id="thisformdiv"> <form action=" http://www.tibettravel.org/tibettravel/order/order_save.asp" method="post" id="thisform" name="myform" onSubmit="return check()"> <fieldset> <legend>Want a Quick Answer?</legend> <p><label for="name" accesskey="9">Name:&nbsp;</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="Fullname" tabindex="1"></p> <p> <label for="email">Email:&nbsp;</label> <input type="text" id="email" name="Email"tabindex="2"></p> <p> <label for="request">Your Request</label> <input type="text" value="3" name="type1" style="display:none" /> <input type="text" value="Quick Book" name="title" style="display:none" /> <label> <textarea name="content" id="text1" rows="3" onBlur="if (value ==''){value='Question not answered?
