Tibet's temples and palaces
Yumbu Lhakang was the first palace built in Tibet, though it later became an area for many eminent monks to practice Buddhism. The original structure itself is not very large, but it stands tall thanks to the features of the mountain. It appears towering and imposing, and it has become a model of Tibetan cliff-style architecture.
Karchu Monastery stands on a high place on Karchu Mountain, among the peaks of the Himalayan mountain range. It is located in Lhodrak County of Lhoka Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region. There is a light or thick fog cover almost every morning, enveloping Karchu Monastery in mist as if from a fairytale. The monastery's builders and worshippers believe that the gods are in a high place close to the heavens.
Gyantse Castle is built on a cliff in the center of the Gyantse old town. The structure rests on the irregular features of the mountain, and the two are perfectly fused together. The Gyantse Castle appears even more magnificent and dignified under a starry night, towering aloft on the mountain peak.
Tsedrup Monastery is located on the famous Tsedrup Mountain in eastern Tibet, in Tengchen County, Chamdo City. Located at an altitude of around 4,800 meters, it is one of the highest monasteries in Tibet.
The Guge Kingdom Relics consisted of more than 40 rooms that were mainly concentrated on the top of a mountain. All of the structures were made of earth and wood and had a flat roof. Each room was between 12 and 18 square meters large. Most were single-story, but there are some that were two or three stories high. Most of these buildings have already destroyed, but the craftsmanship of the design is still evident to this day.
