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.

In the afternoon, visit the nearby Robrinka, the ticket is 80 yuan, and the electronic explanation is 30 people. As the summer palace of the Dalai Lama, some lamas' palaces are not exposed to the sun in the garden and the trees are forested.
The scenery is OK, but the staff is not good. The female tour guide of Robrinka is about 30 years old. She likes to make up. The quality is very low. There is only money in her eyes. It is really embarrassing for the Tibetan people! If you ask for a tour guide, please choose carefully!
Come to Lhasa, in addition to visiting the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, strolling Barkhor Street, you can also go to Robrinka to see, this is the Summer Palace in Lhasa, is also a place with a story. Robrinka covers an area of about 8 square kilometers, with more than 80 palaces and temples. The garden is lush, the flowers are colorful, and the winding path is quiet.
Winter is free, it’s good to come to the sun in the afternoon, but there is no other season in winter.
The tour guide is very nice and patiently introduced in detail. The scenic area has beautiful scenery and few tourists and is very comfortable.
The summer palace is beautiful, you must not miss it when you arrive in Lhasa. The Winter Palace is majestic like a majestic man, and the summer palace is beautiful, like a beautiful girl. Both palaces are the crystallization of human wisdom.
Very worth seeing the plateau style, I heard that there have been several spiritual events there, a little afraid.
This is a typical Tibetan garden, built in the 1840s, the overall garden building is square, the area can be visited is not big, the ticket is 60 yuan. It is famous with the Potala Palace, but there are few tourists here. Roblinka has a collection of religious art treasures, and each piece is breathtaking.
