The Potala Palace in My Heart | The Eternal Center Stage

| The Eternal Center Stage. 🌟🌟🌟 The Potala Palace is so dazzling that it feels like everyone knows about it without needing an introduction, but in reality, most people are not familiar with the detailed history and religious status of the Potala Palace. The Potala Palace is a fortress-like architectural complex, built by Songtsen Gampo of the Tubo dynasty to welcome Princess Wencheng and Princess Bhrikuti. Another theory suggests it was constructed as the royal palace when Songtsen Gampo moved the capital to Lhasa. After being rebuilt in the 17th century, it became the winter residence of successive Dalai Lamas. 🌟🌟🌟 The main structures of the Potala Palace consist of the White Palace and the Red Palace, with the red color of the outer walls being natural pigments, very bright and vivid. The Tibetan style of the palace is particularly attractive. Built on the side of a mountain, the extensive stone walls stand as if they were cliffs, making the architecture seem to merge with the hillside, majestic in appearance. The Potala Palace is situated at an altitude of 3,700 meters and covers a total area of 360,000 square meters. The palace walls are built with rammed earth and covered with bricks and stones, making them particularly sturdy and able to withstand various natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes. 🌟🌟🌟 I hired a guide to explain the changes in the regime of the Potala Palace. As the political center of Tibet, the Potala Palace's status is truly the center stage debut. The guide said that what ordinary people consider the most precious, gold, is the least valuable in the Potala Palace. The golden roofs, golden statues, everything is made of gold. The treasures of the Potala Palace are also a major attraction, with the largest diamond in the country, the most valuable jewels, all enshrined in the Potala Palace, including Dzi beads, agate, turquoise, jadeite, jade, and so on.
