Information
The Norbulingka is located in the western suburbs of Lhasa, built in the 1940s of the 18th century, starting with the construction of the Wuyao Pavilion by the 7th Dalai Lama and ending with the construction of the Dadengmiwen Pavilion by the 14th Dalai Lama, taking more than 200 years. It is a place where successive Dalai Lamas spent their summers and governed, and is a typical Tibetan-style garden. The entire area covers 360,000 square meters, with over 100 species of plants, including common flowers and trees found in the Lhasa region, as well as rare flowers and plants from the southern and northern slopes of the Himalayas, and precious flowers introduced from the mainland or abroad, making it a highland botanical garden. The main buildings include the Gesang Pavilion, the Golden Pavilion, and the Dadeng Mingjiu Pavilion, with a total of 374 rooms, making it the largest, most scenic, and most historic garden in Tibet. Norbulingka means "Treasure Garden." In the past, Norbulingka was merely a "summer palace" for the Dalai Lama and a few high-ranking officials to relax and enjoy. After liberation, it was opened as a people's park and has been renovated, giving it a new look. The best time to visit Lhasa is from June to September, when the climate is the best, the oxygen concentration is the highest, and the natural scenery is the most beautiful.
