The earliest stone carving on the Ten-Thousand Buddhas Wall in Chakpori Hill dated back to the 7th Century.

The 3,725-meter Chakpori Hill (also called the Medicine King Hill) is just situated just to the right of the noted Potala Palace. Therefore, it is the best place to have a panorama and take photos of this holy palace. The Hill's highlight may be the Ten-Thousand Buddhas Wall where a number of vivid statues of Buddhas and gods are carved on the cliff. Attraction Intro: Chakpori Hill
