First stop today was Norbulingka, the Dalai Lama's summer palace.
First stop today was Norbulingka, the Dalai Lama's summer palace.

| Norbulingka means "Treasure Garden". This is the gate into the inner part of the garden. |
 |
| One of the brightly painted lions guarding the gate. It's a female lion -- her left paw is on a cub. |
 |
| A closer look at the top of the gate. |
 |
| Dragons adorn the roof edges. |
 |
| The New Summer Palace was completed in 1954, just before the current Dalai Lama escaped over the border into exile in India. |

| Photography is not allowed inside, but you can sneak a peek through the exterior door. |
