The entrance to the palace is lined with tall eucalyptus trees and wooded alleys and it leads to the main building, which is the Tchong (customary courtyard) built with bamboo and decorated with colorful frescoes and surrounded by carved pillars, illustrating cultural life and revealing the architectural style. A rich collection of socio-cultural, religious and political objects, still used as an expression of the power of the current leader, is exhibited in the palace museum.
