Zhunggo

Shunggo Teng (shung sgo steng) was the main gate leading into Zhöl (zhol) Village and the Potala (po ta la) Palace. It was an imposing three-story structure at the center of the southern portion of the perimeter wall around Zhöl. The gate was rebuilt by the Thirteenth Dalai Lama (1876-1933). It was renovated in the 1990s in such a way that it preserves little of its former interior architectural features.
