Judging from its historical buildings and subsidiary functions, it mainly includes three categories. The first category is the office buildings and ancillary buildings of the former Tibetan local government; the second category is the residences of monks, laymen, aristocrats and officials; the third category is the residences of some low-level employees, craftsmen, serfs, and corresponding service facilities.
