Lonely Planet review

Several hundred metres west of Chagpo Ri, Parma Ri is a much smaller hill with a couple of interesting sights. At the foot of the hill, close to Beijing Zhonglu, is one of Lhasa's four former royal temples, Kunde Ling . The ling (royal) temples were appointed by the fifth Dalai Lama, and it was from one of them that regents of Tibet were generally appointed. There are only a couple of restored chapels open, but it's a friendly place and worth a visit.

Look for the upstairs mural of the original Kunde Ling, 80% of which has been destroyed.
