The
castle of Yongbulakhang sprouting from a craggy ridge overlooking the
patchwork fields of the Yarlung valley is reputed to be the oldest building
in Tibet. The prominent tower is its most impressive feature. The best
part of a visit is the walk up along the ridge above the building. There
are fabulous views of Yongbulakhang and the Yarlung Valley. from a promontory
topped with prayer flags.
