Get ready for a burst of color at one of the world’s highest palaces! 🏔️ The Potala Palace in Xizang, a 1,300-year-old UNESCO World Heritage site, kicked off its annual repainting on October 22 to bring back its vibrant hues.
Every year, the palace’s exterior walls lose some of their stunning reds, whites and golds during the rainy season. To keep those colors shining bright, a team of skilled artisans climbs scaffolding armed with brushes, rollers and a palette fresh from history. 🎨
This year’s project is set to wrap up by mid-to-late November. From the crimson battlements to golden rooftop ornaments, every stroke helps preserve the palace’s story—and its Insta-worthy looks—for generations to come. 📸✨
Whether you’re a culture buff, a traveler planning your next adventure, or just love seeing ancient wonders come alive, this colorful makeover is a reminder that some treasures need a little TLC to stay epic. Stay tuned as Xizang’s crown jewel shines anew! ✨
