The video shows a low-angle view of the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet, from ground level. The palace is constructed of white stone with red and dark framed windows. The lower portions of the palace feature textured white walls, while the upper portions are smooth. The sky is overcast. At the bottom of the frame, a crowd of people, most wearing hats and backpacks, are gathered, suggesting they are tourists waiting to enter the palace. There are some canopies and flags. The camera slowly pans upward to reveal more of the massive structure of the palace and its details.
