Potala Palace, located on Maburi Mountain in the northwest of Lhasa, the capital of Xizang Autonomous Region, China, is the highest magnificent building in the world, with palaces, castles and temples. It is also the largest and most well-preserved ancient palace complex in Tibet.
Potala Palace was originally built for the Tubo Dynasty Zampson Zagambu to marry Princess Bhrikuti Devi and Princess Wencheng. It is an outstanding representative of Tibetan ancient architecture (said to have originated from Sangzhu Zizong Fort), and the essence of China ancient architecture is the landscape pattern on the back of the fifth set of RMB 50 yuan banknotes. The main building is divided into two parts: the White House and the Red Palace. The palace is more than 200 meters high.
There is Potala Palace Square in front of Potala Palace, which is the highest city square in the world. Potala Palace is the holy land of Tibetan Buddhism (Gelug Sect), and countless pilgrims and tourists come here every year. 1961March, the State Council was listed as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units; 1994 65438+February, UNESCO listed it as a world cultural heritage; 20 13 10 month, 13 was listed as a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction by the National Tourism Administration.
The east and west sides of the main building of Potala Palace extend downward respectively and are connected with the tall palace wall. The palace wall is 6 meters high, 4.4 meters wide at the bottom and 2.8 meters wide at the top. It is made of rammed earth and covered with bricks and stones. There is a three-story gatehouse in the east, south and west of the city wall, and a turret in the southeast and northwest corners. All areas surrounded by palace walls belong to Potala Palace.
The front part of the palace wall is called "Snow City", and there are offices of the former Tibetan government, such as the imperial court, the printing house and the headquarters of the Tibetan army. In addition, workshops, stables, water supply offices, warehouses, prisons and other court auxiliary facilities are also located here.
The mountain behind the palace wall is called "Karin", which is mainly a group of garden buildings centered on Longwangtan Scenic Resort Scenic Area and is the back garden of Potala Palace. When the Fifth Dalai Lama rebuilt the Potala Palace, he used to borrow soil here to form a deep pool. Later, the Sixth Dalai Lama built a three-story octagonal glass pavilion for the statue of the Dragon King in the middle of the lake, so it was called Longwangtan Scenic Resort Scenic Area.
There is a Wang Yao on the right side of Hongshan, and there is a Tibetan Medical College built in17th century. On the south side of Gongqian Highway, there is a "Da Za Lu Gong Ji Gongbei", which was built by Chisong Dêzain, a Tubo Sambo, to commemorate his general Da Za Lu Gong's attack on Chang 'an in the first year of Tang Guangde (763). Around the palace wall, many new commercial facilities have been built, which is in sharp contrast with the solemn atmosphere of Potala Palace.
The White House is surrounded by fortified circular castles, such as Xiamen Jingque, Jiebuque, Yujingque and Danmark, which were reconstructed by imitating the early palaces and castles in the period of the Fifth Dalai Lama.
