Lhagyari Palace (Chinese: 拉加里王宫; Tibetan: ལྷ་རྒྱ་རི་ཕོ་བྲང་), situated in Lhünzê County, Shannan Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region, is a historic fortress-palace complex dating to the 13th century.
The palace's architecture integrates Tibetan and Han Chinese influences, featuring a multi-tiered structure with stone foundations, rammed-earth walls, and intricately carved wooden beams.
The palace's layout harmonizes with the surrounding ecosystem: south-facing windows maximize solar heat in winter, while natural drainage channels prevent erosion during monsoon rains.
Conservation policies since 2015 have prohibited modern infrastructure within a 2 km radius to protect endemic species like the Tibetan red deer.
