Potala Palace at Sunset

Perched atop Marpo Ri hill overlooking the Lhasa Valley is the iconic Potala Palace of Tibet under a stunning sunset sky. This formidable fortress palace was built between 1645 to 1651 by Tsongkhapa's disciple, the Fifth Dalai Lama, Ngawang Lobzang Gyatso. It stands as one of the most significant architectural masterpieces not only for its size but also due to it being an emblematic symbol of Tibetan Buddhism. Its architecture showcases traditional Tibetan design elements that are both intricate yet harmonious within this sacred space. As the sun dips below the horizon casting vibrant hues across the clouds above, the serene ambiance envelops visitors who come here from all over the world to witness history unfold before them.
