Yumbu Lagang is an ancient fortress in Nêdong County ( sne gdong སྣེ་ གདོང་ / Nǎidōng乃 东) near Zêtang ( rtsed thang རྩེད་ཐང་ ཐང་ / Zédàng泽当) in the Shannan Governorate of the Tibet Autonomous Region in the People's Republic China . The Yumbu Lagang is considered to be the oldest fortress in Tibet .
According to the founding myth , Yumbu Lagang was built in the 2nd century by followers of the Bon religion for the first Tibetan king Nyathri Tsenpo (Tib .: gnya 'khri btsan po ), who is referred to as "descended from heaven". During the reign of the 28th King Lha Thothori Nyantsen in the 5th century, a golden stupa , a jewel (or a form for making dough stupas) and a sutra that initially nobody could read (the Karaṇḍavyūhasūtra ) were placed on the roof of the building and a voice called from heaven: "In five generations someone should come who understands its meaning!" In fact, the fortress probably dates from the 6th century. Yumbu Lagang later became the summer palace of the 33rd King Songtsen Gampo (Tib .: srong btsan sgam po ) and Princess Wen Cheng . After Songtsen Gampo moved his seat to Lhasa , Yumbu Lagang became a chapel and, under the rule of the 5th Dalai Lama , a monastery of the Gelug School.
The Yumbu Lagang was badly damaged during the Cultural Revolution and rebuilt in the 1980s.
