You can fly directly to Nyingchi and Lhasa, depending on your needs. Those who are afraid of altitude sickness can choose to fly directly to Nyingchi. It is recommended to book tickets in advance. 2. Take a train to Lhasa, then take the 'Fuxinghao' bullet train to Nyingchi (the scenery along the way is really not to be missed) 3. If you have plenty of time, it is recommended to drive by yourself, taking the Yunnan-Tibet or Sichuan-Tibet route, but be cautious when driving into Tibet and have an experienced driver accompany you. 4. Nyingchi City Airport: Location: Civil Aviation Base, New District, Bayi District, Nyingchi City.

This is the second time I took my mom to visit the Potala Palace, just in time for the changing season. The Potala Palace under the sun is so white that it shines, and you can see that everyone is excitedly preparing for the God-descending festival. Milk mixed with lime, white sugar, honey, etc., splashing the walls of the Potala Palace over and over again, creating a sweet atmosphere. Drinking tea in a milk tea shop on Barkhor Street, the boss is a beautiful Tibetan girl, excitedly saying that she just participated in wall painting and hopes to get a good luck next year. I think this is probably the magic of the Potala Palace. No matter how many secrets are hidden behind the sunshine, it silently witnesses its divine blessings with thousands of years, and it is always the residence of the gods and Buddhas in the hearts of Tibetans. "Living in the Potala Palace, I am the greatest king in the snow; wandering on the streets of Lhasa, I am the most beautiful lover in the world." "How many secrets does a person need to hide to cleverly spend a lifetime?" The first time I walked into the Potala Palace, I was dazzled by the gold and jewels, and the story of Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng put a filter on this place. The second time I came, I just wanted to see the slightly lonely Tsangyang Gyatso again. Among the statues of the living Buddhas of all generations, it seems to represent another side of this place. The only Dalai Lama who is not of Tibetan or Mongolian origin, free, romantic, full of talent, but his short life is struggling in power and fate. Behind the sunshine is the shadow, how can there be no scars under the glitz. The Potala Palace was once the supreme symbol of royal power. It observes the world with Buddha's eyes and is also full of bloody, brutal worldly stories. Legend has it that it has a huge treasure buried in the underground palace, countless rooms, and a tunnel to "Shambhala" that ordinary people cannot find. But what shocks the world is not only the invaluable wealth, but also the extremely cruel snow prison. In the few days in Lhasa, you can often see the Potala Palace from different times and angles. Under the snow mountain, it is like a painting that never gets tired of looking at. People say that it is the palace closest to heaven, sacred and pure, but I think it has an old and heavy soul, born for faith and also tired for faith. tips: There are fewer rooms open in the Potala Palace, you cannot go back when visiting, you can stroll slowly without following the group, there is no limit to the stay time. You can change tickets at the last ticket office, don't force it because of the high altitude, if you have altitude sickness, you can go down in time.

| The Eternal Center Stage. 🌟🌟🌟 The Potala Palace is so dazzling that it feels like everyone knows about it without needing an introduction, but in reality, most people are not familiar with the detailed history and religious status of the Potala Palace. The Potala Palace is a fortress-like architectural complex, built by Songtsen Gampo of the Tubo dynasty to welcome Princess Wencheng and Princess Bhrikuti. Another theory suggests it was constructed as the royal palace when Songtsen Gampo moved the capital to Lhasa. After being rebuilt in the 17th century, it became the winter residence of successive Dalai Lamas. 🌟🌟🌟 The main structures of the Potala Palace consist of the White Palace and the Red Palace, with the red color of the outer walls being natural pigments, very bright and vivid. The Tibetan style of the palace is particularly attractive. Built on the side of a mountain, the extensive stone walls stand as if they were cliffs, making the architecture seem to merge with the hillside, majestic in appearance. The Potala Palace is situated at an altitude of 3,700 meters and covers a total area of 360,000 square meters. The palace walls are built with rammed earth and covered with bricks and stones, making them particularly sturdy and able to withstand various natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes. 🌟🌟🌟 I hired a guide to explain the changes in the regime of the Potala Palace. As the political center of Tibet, the Potala Palace's status is truly the center stage debut. The guide said that what ordinary people consider the most precious, gold, is the least valuable in the Potala Palace. The golden roofs, golden statues, everything is made of gold. The treasures of the Potala Palace are also a major attraction, with the largest diamond in the country, the most valuable jewels, all enshrined in the Potala Palace, including Dzi beads, agate, turquoise, jadeite, jade, and so on.

Different views of the Potala Palace throughout the four seasons, the Potala Palace, located in Lhasa, Tibet, is a symbol of Tibetan Buddhism and a World Cultural Heritage. Its mystique comes from the uniqueness of its location and architecture, religious beliefs and legends, the mysterious power of the treasures within, the complex labyrinth layout, the history of monks' cultivation, and the unsolved historical mysteries. As one of the mysterious buildings, the Potala Palace displays a profound cultural and historical heritage.
