Potala Palace China Postcard

Potala Palace is the iconic hilltop palace-fortress overlooking Lhasa, renowned for its striking white and red architecture, golden roofs, and dramatic setting against the Tibetan Plateau. Once the winter residence of the Dalai Lamas, it remains one of the most recognizable cultural and spiritual landmarks in Tibet. Rising from Marpo Ri (Red Hill), the palace features grand halls, chapels, murals, and historic treasures that reflect centuries of Tibetan Buddhist heritage. Its commanding silhouette, especially under clear mountain skies, makes it a symbol of Lhasa and one of the most celebrated architectural wonders in Asia.
