Potala Palace, China Travel
Potala Palace, China Travel - The site on which the Potala Palace rises is built over a palace erected by Songtsän Gampo on the Red Hill. The Potala contains two chapels on its the northwest corner that conserve parts of the original building. One is the Phakpa Lhakhang, the other the Chogyel Drupuk, a recessed cavern identified as Songtsän Gampos meditation cave. Lozang Gyatso, the Great Fifth Dalai Lama, started the construction of the modern Potala Palace in 1645 after one of his spiritual advisers, Konchog Chophel (died 1646), pointed out that the site was ideal as a seat of government, situated as it is between Drepung and Sera monasteries and the old city of Lhasa. The external structure was built in 3 years, while the interior, together with its furnishings took 45 years to complete.The Dalai Lama and his government moved into the Potrang Karpo (White Palace) in 1649.Construction lasted until 1694, some twelve years after his death. The Potala was used as a winter palace by the Dalai Lama from that time. The Potrang Marpo (Red Palace) was added between 1690 and 1694.
The new palace got its name from a hill on Cape Comorin at the southern tip of India—a rocky point sacred to the bodhisattva of compassion, who is known as Avalokitesvara, or Chenrezi. The Tibetans themselves rarely speak of the sacred place as the Potala, but rather as Peak Potala (Tse Potala), or usually as the Peak.
The palace was slightly damaged during the Tibetan uprising against the Chinese in 1959, when Chinese shells were launched into the palaces windows. It also escaped damage during the Cultural Revolution in 1966 through the personal intervention of Zhou Enlai,who was then the Premier of the Peoples Republic of China. Still, almost all of the over 100,000 volumes of scriptures, historical documents and other works of art were either removed, damaged or destroyed.
The Potala Palace was inscribed to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994. In 2000 and 2001, Jokhang Temple and Norbulingka were added to the list as extensions to the sites. Rapid modernisation has been a concern for UNESCO, however, which expressed concern over the building of modern structures immediately around the palace which threaten the palaces unique atmosphere. The Chinese government responded by enacting a rule barring the building of any structure taller than 21 metres in the area. UNESCO was also concerned over the materials used during the restoration of the palace, which commenced in 2002 at a cost of RMB180 million (US$22.5 million), although the palaces director, Qiangba Gesang, has clarified that only traditional materials and craftsmanship were used. The palace has also received restoration works between 1989 to 1994, costing RMB55 million (US$6.875 million).
The number of visitors to the palace was restricted to 1,600 a day, with opening hours reduced to six hours daily to avoid over-crowding from 1 May 2003. The palace was receiving an average of 1,500 a day prior to the introduction of the quota, sometimes peaking to over 5,000 in one day. Visits to the structures roof was banned after restoration works were completed in 2006 to avoid further structural damage.
Visitorship quotas were raised to 2,300 daily to accommodate a 30% increase in visitorship since the opening of the Qingzang railway into Lhasa on 1 July 2006, but the quota is often reached by mid-morning.Opening hours were extended during the peak period in the months of July to September, where over 6,000 visitors would descend on the site.

I am a qualified Real Estate Consultant with a Master of Applied Finance (Macquarie University, Australia) and Bachelor of Business Administration (National University of Singapore).
Prior to joining the real estate industry, I had more than 15 years of working experience in financial services. My working experience includes as an Associate Director with an international private bank who managed the assets of High Networth Individuals. My experience in the frontline as a Relationship Manager was enriched and rounded by my solid background in credit and operation of an international organization.
In 2010, I embarked on my second career in real estate after the slowdown in financial sector caused by the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Starting from the marketing of new projects, I moved on to sale and leasing of private residential properties. To leverage on my past experience in financial services, I choose to refocus on leasing of prime commercial space where I can add much more value to my clients. As a tenant, I can provide you an integrated solution to your business. My services cover you through the whole process of finding the right property, how you can secure a lease, negotiating the best rent, making an offer and closing the deal.
