2. Potala Palace, Tibet
Perched high above the holy city of Lhasa is the former seat of the Tibetan government and the winter residence of the Dalai Lama. More notable now for its imposing presence than its residents, this huge construction is 13 storeys high, contains thousands of rooms, and is styled like a traditional Buddhist gompa(temple), if significantly more elaborate. More than 7,000 workers were said to have been involved in its construction during the 7th century AD. The palace is now a state museum of China, and has been given a place on the Unesco World Heritage list.
