A place lacking oxygen, but not faith —— Potala Palace

🌟 Highlights: The Potala Palace is located within the territory of Lhasa, Tibet, China. It is a famous sacred symbol of Tibet. This palace-fortress complex is mainly divided into the White Palace and the Red Palace. Visitors here can deeply feel the strong Tibetan style. From a distance, combined with the steep cliffs below the palace, it appears particularly spectacular and majestic. Due to its location in Tibet, the altitude is certainly not low. This building, over 200 meters tall, has an altitude of more than 3700 meters and covers a total area of 360,000 square meters. From the outside, the Potala Palace has a total of 13 floors, with the height of the Red Palace reaching 115.703 meters. ⏳ Visiting Time: The tickets for the Potala Palace are divided into two price tiers for the peak and off-peak seasons. The peak season is from May to October each year, during which time the ticket price is 200 yuan each. The off-peak season is from November to April of the following year, with a ticket price of 100 yuan each. There are also discount policies for the Potala Palace tickets. Disabled persons, active military personnel, and seniors over 60 years old can enjoy half-price tickets with valid documents. Children under 1.2 meters in height can enjoy free admission. There are also time restrictions for entering and visiting the Potala Palace. The opening hours differ between peak and off-peak seasons.
