I recently went to Tibet, and what I am most looking forward to is the Potala Palace, which stands on the Red Mountain in the northwest of Lhasa City, Tibet Autonomous Region. It was built in the middle of the seventh century (AD 641), during the Tang Emperor Taizong Li Shimin period. The reason for the establishment of the Potala Palace is that because of the development needs, Songtsan Gambo moved the government from the Shannan area to Lhasa in order to defend the foreign aggression. In order to defend against foreign aggression, the Red Mountain was built on the red hills of Lhasa. Palace, this is the earliest title of the Potala Palace. Another said that Songtsan Gambo was the Princess of the Tang Dynasty and built this palace. Another way of saying this is that Princess Wencheng suggested that the king of the king build the Potala Palace. The Potala Palace, which was built after , experienced more than two hundred years of wind and rain, and was destroyed at the end of the ninth century with the demise of the Tubo Kingdom. During the period, the main cause was two accidents. One was that the Golden Summit was hit by lightning during the Dessert of Chisong, and the other was that the last of the Tibetans, Zang Prang Da Ma, was opposed to Buddhism and caused the war. The Potala Palace was destroyed and only two houses were left. After the reconstruction of the 17th century, the Potala Palace became the residence of the 0-year-old palace, and it was also the center of the integration of Tibetan politics and religion. The entire palace covers an area of more than 100,000 square meters and has a distinctive Tibetan style.
