Get ready to shield your eyes 😎! Perched high in Lhasa, the Potala Palace isn’t just a cultural icon—it’s a giant golden beacon. Those shimmering roofs? They’re covered in real gold leaf, catching every ray of sunshine and turning the sky into a disco party.
Crafted centuries ago, the palace’s gleam is the result of an epic collaboration: the emperor’s top-notch craftsmen joined forces with master artisans from the Tibet region. Together, they hammered and polished each golden tile until the rooftop glittered like a jewel on the Tibetan Plateau.
Today, visitors flock from around the world to catch that legendary shine. Pro tip: bring your coolest sunglasses and a sense of wonder—because when the sun hits those rooftops, you’ll understand why this palace reigns supreme in the heritage and heart of Tibet. ✨🏯🏔️
