I saw that the palace was stacked, twisting and turning, built according to the mountain, from the foot of the mountain upwards, until the top of the mountain. The overall building is mainly composed of the White House in the east (the part where the Dalai Lama lives), the Red Palace in the middle (the Buddha Hall and the Dalai Lama Spiritual Pagoda Hall) and the white monk's house in the west (where the Dalai Lama's cronies who serve the Dalai Lama live).
