Potala Palace, Lhasa
SANDY KELLY / LONELY PLANET ©
There are moments in travel that will long stay with you - your first view of Lhasa's
iconic
Potala Palace
is one such moment. A visit to the former home of the Dalai
Lamas is a spiralling descent past gold-tombed chapels, opulent reception rooms
and huge prayer halls into the bowels of a medieval castle. It's nothing less than
the concentrated spiritual and material wealth of a nation.
