Dragon King Pool

It is the back side of Red Hill where Potala Palace stands. It was dug－out for the reconstruction of Potala Palace during the mid seventh century.

It’s said that there are eight Chinese dragons the sixth Dalai Lama invited from Mozu Gongka living in the pool, and still a statue of the Dragon King stands side of it, so it’s named Dragon King Pool. The pool is surrounded by woods and flowers, it’s a wonderful scenic site for travelers to have a wander and boating.
