In theseventeenth century under the reign of the FifthDalai Lama, Potala was rebuilt.The Thirteenth Dalai Lama expanded it to today' s scale. The monastery-likepal-ace, reclining against and capping Red Hill, was the religious andpolitical center of old Tibet and the winter palaceof Dalai Lamas. The palaceis more than 117 meters (384 feet) in height and 360 ( 1,180 feet) in width,occupyinga building space of 90 thonsand square meters. Potala is composed ofWhite Palace and Red Palace.

The White Palace consists of offices,dormitories, a Buddhist official seminary and a printing house. From theeastentrance of the palace, painted with images of Four Heaveniy Kings, a broadcorridor upwards leads to DeyangShar .courtyard, which used to be where DalaiLamas watched operas. Afoot the large and open courtyard, there usedto be aseminary dormitories. West of the courtyard is the White Palace. There arethree ladder stairs reaching in-side of it, liowever, tbe central one wasreserved for only Dalai Lamas and central government magistrates dispatched
toTibet. In the first hallway, there are huge murals describing the constructionof Potala Palace and Jokhang Templeand the procession of Princess Wenchengreaching Tibet.

Theybelongedto the Thirteenth Dalai Lama and the Fourteenth Dalai Lama respectively.Beneath the East Chamber of Sunshine is thelargest hall in the White Palace,where Dalai Lamas ascended throne and ruled Tibet.
D.JokhangTemple
Jokhang Temple is the spiritual center ofTibet. Everyday pilgrims from every comer of Tibet trek along distance to thetemple. Some of them even progress prostrate by body length to the threshold ofthe temple. Pil-grims fuel myriad of flickering butter lamps with yak butter,or honor their deities with white scarves ( Kha-btags orHada) while murmuringsacred mantras to show their pieties to the Buddha.
It lies at the center of the old Lhasa. Builtin 647 by Songtsen Gampo and his two foreign wives, it has ahistory of morethan 1,300. It was said that Nepal Princess Tritsun decided to build a templeto house the JowoSakyamuni aged 12 brought by Chinese Princess Wencheng.Princess Wencheng reckoned according to Chinese as-trology that the templeshould be built on the pool where the Jokhang now locates. She contended thatthe pool wasa witch' s heart, so the temple should be built on the pool to getdd of evils. The pool still exists under the temple.Then goats were used as themain pack animals, as is the reason the city is called Lhasa. The constructiontook 12months. However it was originally small and had been expanded to today's scale in later dynasties. When the FifthDalai Lama took reign, large-scalereconstruction and renovation had been done. The temple is a combination ofHan,Tibetan and Nepalese architectural techniques. Visitors will see sphinx and otherweird and sacred sculptures.
