Samdrup Podrang, Protected heritage site in Barkhor South Street, Lhasa, China.
The three-story structure displays traditional Tibetan architectural elements with white walls, black trapezoidal windows, and intricate wooden details throughout the building.
Built in 1642, Samdrup Podrang served as the residence of Gushi Khan, the Mongol leader who established an 80-year rule over Tibet from this location.
The building represents the intersection of Mongol and Tibetan influences, later becoming the residence of prominent families connected to the Seventh Dalai Lama.
The site operates as a residential complex with a community health service station on the second floor and multiple shops and teahouses in the surrounding area.
The structure earned recognition as one of the four principal family estates in Tibet after its inhabitants received ducal titles from the Qing Dynasty emperors.
