Potala Palace. Legend has it that the Potala Palace was first built in the 7th century for the wedding of Tibetan King Songtsan Gompo and Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907). What is seen today reflects continuous renovation and additions since the 17th century. Since May, 24 tourist attractions have been included in the "price trusted" list by the China National Tourism Administration after agreements which include not raising prices for three years. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Tibet autonomous region. [Photo/IC]
