Potala Palace is a world-famous palace, commonly known as the "Second Putuo Mountain", which stands on the red hill in Lhasa and is a large palace-style building complex. The Potala Palace was originally built by Songtsan Gampo to marry Princess Wencheng. It was rebuilt in the17th century and became the winter palace residence of the Dalai Lama and the center of Tibet. The whole palace has a distinctive Tibetan style, built on the mountain, and has a magnificent momentum. When Songzan Gambu led his troops to occupy Lhasa and decided to settle here, after nearly a month's observation and analysis, the architectural experts and feng shui masters at that time finally chose the exact location on this red mountain, facing north and south. Hongshan, a very small mountain in Lhasa, is a hill rather than a mountain, because it is only 100 meters high and covers an area of only enough to build a palace. But its name is Hongshan, and Tibetans advocate red and white. They think that red represents eternity and courage, and white represents holiness. Therefore, it is most appropriate to build a palace above Hongshan, and Jiangshan's feng shui concept and auspicious meaning are integrated. In addition, the northern part of Hongshan is Laoniang Mountain, forming a hug shape, putting Hongshan in the "arms", and Hongshan snuggles in the arms of "Niang" happily like a favored child. Potala Palace is the crown and soul of this "child". The completion of Potala Palace makes Hongshan full of vitality and aura ~
