- Cover photo description:
- Standing on the Red Mountain in the center of Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region at an altitude of more than 3,700 meters, the Potala Palace is a palace-style building complex. It is the largest, most complete and picturesque palace in Tibet. It was originally built by the Tubo Dynasty Zampo Songtsen Gampo. It has been expanded by various generations of Dalai Lamas. It is the residence of the winter palace of the Dalai Lamas of all dynasties and the center of the unity of politics and religion in Tibet. In 1961, the Potala Palace became one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units of the State Council of the People`s Republic of China. In 1994, the Potala Palace was listed as a World Heritage Site. The main building of the Potala Palace is the White House and the Red Palace. The whole palace has Tibetan style, more than 200 meters high, with 13 floors in appearance, but only 9 floors in reality. Since it was built on the mountainside, the large area of stone walls stands like a cut wall, making the building seem to be integrated with the hills and majestic.
