Norbu Lingka
Park, or "Treasured Garden", is located in the west of Lhasa.
With a layout similar to imperial gardens in the Chinese interior,
the park was a summer resort for Dalai Lamas. In the garden, colorful,
exotic flowers are shaded by towering rare trees, and golden buildings
and the lake add radiance and beauty to each other.
Other tourist attractions in Lhasa include Gandan Monastery, the first one built by Tsong Khapa, founder of the Gelung (yellow) Sect of Lamaism, in the 15th century and Zhebung Monastery, Tibet's largest temple which covers an area of 250,000 square meters as well as Sera Monastery, Dragon King Pool and Medicine King Hill.
