Where Am I?
Formidable yaks (mythical giants) stand as guardians of this Southeast Asian landmark, a complex of halls, residences and courts. Construction of the buildings began in 1782; today the site spans 60 acres and includes one of the country’s most sacred temples, at the heart of which is a Buddha carved from a single piece of jade. For more than 150 years, the complex was home to the country’s king and his court. Its function as a royal residence ceased in 1946 after the death of the then king, who was found shot dead in his room. Today it is one of the city’s tourist hotspots.
