Potala Palace, Lhasa

Potala Palace in downtown Lhasa is a 41-hectare complex which came under construction during Songtsan Gambo's 7th-century Tibetan reign. Consisting of White Palace and Red Palace, with nearly 10,000 rooms, it was where the Tibet religious Dalai Lamas lived and handled political affairs. Housed in this castle-like palace are a wealth of Buddhist statues, murals, religious scriptures, and treasures in Tibet. As a precious legacy of Tibetan culture, the Potala Palace is a UNESCO-endorsed world cultural heritage site.
