Tibet Valley: The Valley of the Kings or Chongye
Valley branches off the Yarlung Valley to the southwest and contains a
series of graveyard tumuli, approximately 27 kilometres (17 mi) south of
Tsetang, Tibet, near the town of Qonggyai on Mure Mountain in Qonggyai
County of the Shannan Prefecture. The site possesses eight large mounds
of earth resembling natural hills that are believed to contain eight to
ten buried Tibetan kings. "According to Tibetan tradition all the kings
from Dri-gum onwards are buried at ‘Phyong-rgyas, but as the site now
presents itself, there are just ten tumuli identifiable as the tombs of
all the kings from Srong-brtsan-sgam-po to Khri-lde-srong-brtsan,
including two princes.
