At over 1,300 years old, the Potala Palace stands tall on Marpo Ri hill, overlooking Lhasa city. 🌄 This ancient palace is more than a landmark; it's a living symbol of history and culture in the Xizang Autonomous Region.
We asked five locals what they felt the first time they saw it. Here's what they said:
- Enkhtu, a street artist: 'It feels like time travel, with every wall telling a story.' 🎨
- Tenzin, a university student: 'Standing there, I felt both small and part of something huge.' 📚
- Jampa, a tour guide: 'My heart races every time I see those striking red and white walls.' ❤️
- Dhondrub, a café owner: 'I love watching visitors' faces light up when they catch the view.' ☕️
- Kelsang, a photographer: 'It's my favourite backdrop for capturing pure magic.' 📷
