The site has eight large mounds of earth resembling natural hills that are believed to contain eight to ten buried Tibetan kings.

[1][4][3] The largest of the mounds, located near the north bank of the Qonggyai (Chonggye) River, has a reconstructed 13th-century temple dedicated to Songtsen Gampo.

Behind this altar statue display is a crowned Maitreya with two Sakyamunis and a mural on the right wall depicting Indian deities of the 8th century AD.

Buried at the head of the coffin is a coral statue of Lord Loyak Gyalo, who is intended to give light to the dead king; at the foot of the coffin is a cache of pears weighing 35 kilograms, wrapped in silk, that symbolize Gampo's share of wealth.

The tomb is, notably, believed to contain an extensive number of large gold and silver utensils, reliquary and commemorative artifacts.
