the potala palace is on top of a hill

This important Buddhist pilgrim destination is the highest palace in the world, located in Lhasa at almost 3700 meters above sea level. Built by a Tibetan king in 613 AD to celebrate his marriage, the palace later became a Buddhist monastery and the residence of the Dalai Lama. It is now a museum. The palace is filled with art and relics, such as scrolls, murals and statues, and also houses the tombs of eight Dalai Lamas. Potala Palace is one of the most famous attractions in Tibet.
