Norbulingka Park

Introduction

Situated in the western suburbs of Lhasa, Norbulingka Park was built in the 1740s during the reign of the 7th Dalai Lama. Later it was renovated and enlarged and became the Dalai Lama's summer palace.

Traditionally the Dalai Lama would leave the Potala Palace every spring, and spend the summer in Norbulingka. The Dalai Lama would handle political affairs and hold festival celebrations here. Almost half the park’s 3.6 sq km is covered with forest. The main buildings are the Golden Palace, Sutra Hall and the New Palace, which was built in 1954.
