The iconic Potala Palace in Xizang is getting a fresh coat of paint! 🏯 Every year, the 1,300-year-old UNESCO World Heritage site undergoes a vibrant transformation to restore its dazzling white and red hues, which fade during the rainy season. This year’s restoration kicked off on October 22 and will wrap up by late November.
Dubbed a 'labor of love' by locals, the tradition blends craftsmanship with cultural preservation. Workers use natural materials like honey, milk, and mineral pigments to maintain the palace’s timeless beauty. 🌾👷♂️ The process not only protects the structure but also keeps ancient techniques alive for future generations.
A must-see for travelers, the Potala Palace attracts millions with its rich history and stunning Himalayan backdrop. This annual refresh ensures it stays Insta-ready year-round! 📸💫
