I visited a palace in Tibet that is even older than the Potala Palace, dating back over 2000 years

I have finally arrived at the other side of the Anywhere Door, Tibet's Yungbulakang Today is the third day of the May Day holiday, and we have come to Yungbulakang, a royal palace that predates the Potala Palace. Located south of Tsang, it is older than Lhasa. Yungbulakang means 'the palace on the hind leg of a doe.' It has been the residence from the first Tsenpo, Nyatri Tsenpo, of the Yarlung dynasty, to the 33rd Tsenpo, Songtsen Gampo. It has been over two millennia. Princess Wencheng lived in this palace after she came to Tibet, and later, when the Potala Palace was built, this became her and Songtsen Gampo's summer palace. From here, one can see the first piece of farmland that Princess Wencheng cultivated in Tibet. This place holds many of Tibet's firsts: Tibet's first palace, the first Buddhist temple, Changzhu Monastery, and the first king, Nyatri Tsenpo. The first Tibetan opera also originated here. Travel tips: It takes about 20 minutes to drive from Shannan city to Yungbulakang. The ticket price is 30 yuan. Upon arrival, you can choose to ride a horse or hike up. The altitude here is around 3700 meters, and it takes roughly 20 minutes to hike up, which is easier than going to the Potala Palace. Opening hours: Monday to Sunday all day: 9:00~18:00. Entry is stopped after 4:00 pm.
