Lhasa Potala

The Potala really is an amazing building...

5 Sept - The Potala

We visited the Potala, the winter palace of the Dalai Lamas, and it is as impressive inside as outside. Especially, it features the tomb stupas of the fifth to 13th Dalai Lamas.

First started in the 7th century, the main large buildings ware completed in the 1700's- Jamie
