Yumbulakhang: Yumbu Lakhang is located 12km south of Tsedang which appears dwarfed by the scale of the Yarlung Valley. It is widely known as the work of the first king of Tibet, Nyatri Tsenpo, when he arrived in Yarlung, the original Yumbulakhang would have been over two thousand years old and the oldest building in Tibet when it was almost totally destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. The present building is a 1982 reconstruction in two parts with a small two-storey chapel and an eleven-meter-high tower. The lower floor of the chapel is dedicated to the early Tibetan kings; Nyatri Tsenpo is to the left and Songtsen Gampo to the right of the central Buddha statue. The delightful and unusual upper-storey chapel, with Chenresi as the central image, is built on a balcony. Some of the modern murals up here show legendary events in Tibetan history; look out on the left for Nyatri Tsenpo and for the Buddhist scriptures descending from heaven. For the best scenery, it is advisable to take a walk up to the ridge behind the temple.
