We quickly came to the foot of the Maburi Mountain in the northwest of Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, and finally saw the fascinating and majestic Potala Palace, which is the highest altitude in the world, a magnificent building integrating palaces, castles and monasteries, and is the largest and most complete ancient palace and fortress complex in Tibet.

The Potala Palace is built on the mountain, the group of buildings overlaps, the palace is saga, the momentum is magnificent, it is the outstanding representative of the ancient Tibetan architecture, the essence of the ancient architecture of the Chinese nation, the blue sky and white clouds are particularly good-looking, there is the Potala Palace Square in front, it is the highest city square in the world.

Because the Potala Palace is the holy place of Tibetan Buddhism (Gelugpa), if it is in our modern society, the pilgrims and tourists who come here every year are countless, countless, densely packed, make people dazzled, dizzy, the Potala Palace is 3,700 meters above sea level, covers a total area of 360,000 square meters, the total building area is 130,000 square meters, the main building is 117 meters high, a total of 13 floors, including the palace, the spiritual pagoda hall, the Buddha hall, the scripture hall, the monk's house, the courtyard and so on.

The exterior of the Potala Palace is 13 floors and 110 meters high, rising from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It consists of the White House in the east (where the Dalai Lama lives) and the Red Palace in the middle (the Buddha Hall and the Dalai Lama's Spiritual Pagoda Hall).

In front of the Red Palace, there is a white towering wall that serves as a Buddha platform, which is used to hang large tapestries of Buddha statues on Buddhist festivals.

The Potala Palace as a whole is a stone and wood structure, and the outer wall of the palace is 2~5 meters thick, and the foundation is directly buried in the rock formation.

The walls are all made of granite masonry, up to tens of meters, and at intervals, iron juice is poured into the middle to reinforce, which improves the seismic resistance of the wall, and is solid and stable.

The roof and window eaves are made of wooden structure, the cornices are overhanged, the corners are upturned, the copper tiles are gilded, the gilt prayer is made of the treasure vase, the scorpion fish and the gold-winged black, and the ridge decoration.

The shiny roof is made of the rest of the mountain style and the cusp type, which is in the style of Han Dynasty architecture. The walls under the eaves are decorated with gilded copper ornaments, and the images are all Buddhist ritual eight treasures, with strong Tibetan Buddhist colors.

The pillars and sorghum imitations are covered with bright paintings and ornate carvings. The internal corridors are staggered, the halls are mixed, and the space is tortuous and unpredictable.

The Potala Palace is built according to the mountain, the group of buildings overlaps, the palace is saggy, the momentum is majestic, the granite wall body of the solid pier is thick, the white horse grass wall collar of the matsutake mushroom is flattened, the golden top is resplendent and splendid, the huge gilt vase, the building and the red banner with a strong decorative effect, the bright contrast of the three colors of red, white and yellow, the architectural form of the division and the layer-by-layer socketing, all reflect the charming characteristics of the ancient Tibetan architecture.

However, the Potala Palace we see now is the original template - built for the Tibetan Dynasty Zanpu Songtsen Gampo to marry Princess Qizun and Princess Wencheng, was built in the 7th century during the Songtsen Gampo period, is the residence of the Dalai Lama and the center of the Potala Palace, since then it has become the residence of the Dalai Lama Winter Palace of the past Dalai Lamas, as well as the place where major religious and political ceremonies are held, and the place where the spiritual pagoda of the Dalai Lamas has been enshrined, not in 1645 - Qing Dynasty in the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty and the period of the Shuote Khanate, the protector king Gushi Khan and the Gelug regent Sonam Qunpei rebuilt the Potala Palace, not the modern society to visit the crowded, countless, shoulder to shoulder, the Potala Palace of the city, but more ancient, more majestic buildings, but it is still so majestic, towering into the clouds, magnificent, in the blue sky and white clouds, it looks more beautiful and moving, unique, unique, and it seems particularly brand-new, but also particularly complete, particularly majestic, because in the later period, after the fall of the Tubo Dynasty, most of the ancient palaces and castles were destroyed in the war, plus natural disasters such as lightning strikes, the Potala Palace has been shrinking in size, and even once it was incorporated into the Jokhang Temple, which was managed as its branch.

In the modern society, the Potala Palace only survives the Dharma King Cave and Pabalakang at that time. Although the Potala Palace was built in the 7th century A.D. during the period of Songtsen Gampo, the Tibetan king of the Tibetan Dynasty, and has a history of 1,300 years from modern society, since we are now in the Song Dynasty, although there is no sense of ancient vicissitudes at all, it feels like a new feeling.

And there are not as many pedestrians who come and go to visit in modern society, but it seems a little deserted, empty, and lonely.

Hu Jiaojiao was lonely and unheard, she said curiously: "God, this place is so beautiful, it is so beautiful, it is like a magnificent palace, who lives here, is there any historical story here?" According to historical records, there is a silver and copper bridge between the inner and outer cities of Hongshan, Songtsan Gampo and Princess Wencheng's palace. Outside the east gate of the Potala Palace, there is a racecourse of Songtsen Gampo. When the Tibetan Dynasty founded by Songtsen Gampo collapsed, most of the Potala Palace was destroyed in the war. In 631 AD, the Potala Palace was built by Songtsen Gampo in Tibet. At that time, there were 999 palaces and 1,000 meditation rooms on the mountain. I couldn't help whispering to Xiao Fei and sighed: " It's a pity that I'm busy with work in modern society, and I don't have time to travel, look around, travel and travel, such a majestic and magnificent place has not been here, it's a pity, but fortunately now it is the blessing of Mr. Wang Dalong, to find treasure, so fortunately, I came here today, I am really lucky, and finally I saw the long-awaited resort, but it is really strange, I feel that this Potala Palace is so familiar, as if it appeared in a dream, as if it was fated in the previous life. Xiao Fei said disapprovingly: "Of course you are familiar with it, it is the landscape pattern on the back of the fifth set of RMB 50 yuan banknotes, you who love money like your life, must be like Grande, counting the RMB every day, staring at those images over and over again every day to see it forgetful, every day dreaming of yellow sorghum, of course, unforgettable, like a dream, as if you have been here in a previous life."
