The Potala Palace in Lhasa began its annual repainting on September 25, 2025, with volunteers using traditional colors and modern tools to protect the historic site.
The Potala Palace in Lhasa, Xizang Autonomous Region, began its annual repainting on September 25, 2025, marking the ninth month of the Tibetan calendar.
Volunteers from the community, including longtime participants and newcomers, applied traditional red, white, and yellow paint to the palace’s exterior using brushes, sprayers, and specialized ropes, with some scaling the structure as “spider-men.” The effort, now completed in about a week due to improved tools and coordination, serves both cultural and preservation purposes, protecting the centuries-old palace from weathering.
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1994 and a national key cultural relic since 1961, the Potala Palace remains a vital symbol of Tibet’s heritage.
