In Tibet former manors and villas of some ancient aristocrats can still be seen. These residences are composed of a front courtyard and a main building. The two-story courtyard provides storerooms, and rooms for serfs and chamberlains. The main building is usually three stories and from above resembles the Chinese character '?' (hui). The central part of the building is a patio. The first floor is used for storing or renting; the second contains a shrine, an assembly room, a kitchen and some storerooms; while the third is made up of the living rooms of the owners and their close servants. The later aristocratic residences are like modern villas which have courtyards which are greener and closer to nature. Most are also two stories with terraces on the north side of the top floor. Because of this they resemble another Chinese character '土' (tu) from above. 
 
The unique architecture of these manors can be seen in the famous <a href="/lhasa/norbulingka.htm">Norbulingka</a>  of Lhasa, the <a href="/shigatse/pala-manor.htm">Pala Manor</a> of Shigatse, and other palaces in Tibet.
