However, Shannan owes more fame to its position in Tibet's history. Apart from the legend of the monkey and the Raksasi that used to live on Mt. Gongpori and reputably gave birth to the original inhabitants of Tibet, historical facts verify the significant role that has always been played by this fertile region. Far back to the time when the Tubo Kingdom was merely a tribe of the Yarlong area, the favorable climate and natural advantages enabled an unimaginable growth in its power that led to the eventual unification of Tibet. Later the Yarlong area assumed the position as the economic and political center of Tibet until a new capital was built where Lhasa is presently located. As the 'cradle of Tibetan culture', the Shannan region was where the first king, the first palace, the first chapel, the first monastery and the first Tibetan opera among a variety of other aspects of cultural history came into being . The local arts comprising paintings, sculptures, masks, wood and stone carvings as well as literature all form part of over a thousand years of the Tibetan cultural heritage that is highly reputed throughout the country.
