The Potala Palace
The Potala Palace has overlooked Lhasa since the 7th century and was expanded during the 17th century by the Dalai Lama. Once the spiritual and political center of Tibetan Buddhism, it is famous for its terraced architecture, sacred murals, and golden chapels. The surrounding ecosystem belongs to the Tibetan alpine plateau, marked by dry air, high elevations, and hardy vegetation such as junipers, willows, and mountain grasses. Regional wildlife includes yaks, Tibetan antelopes, eagles, and black-necked cranes, all specially adapted to the harsh Himalayan environment.
