TIBET - Potala Palace

Thank you Fei Luo for the nice card.


"The Potala Palace (Tibetan: པོ་ཏ་ལ, simplified Chinese: 布达拉宫; traditional Chinese: 布達拉宮;) in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, China, was the chief residence of the Dalai Lama until the 14th Dalai Lama fled to India during the 1959 Tibetan uprising. It was built as the center of Tibetan government by the fifth Dalai Lama in 1645.  It is now a museum and World Heritage Site."
