![The Tibetan Buddhism heritage site Potala Palace is known for its shining gold-plated roof, which has just undergone major repair and polishing in Lhasa, capital of southwest China\'s Tibet Autonomous Region.
The face-lift took about a year and a half with 31 million yuan (4.47 million U.S. dollar) of funding appropriated by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. The 1,300-year-old palace has seven golden peaks on the main building. Before the repairs, parts of the gold plating were damaged from long-term exposure to wind, sun and rain. During the repair, workers also improved the safety of the roof\'s wooden structure and the palace\'s affiliated buildings.(Photo/Xinhua)](http://www.ecns.cn/hd/2018/11/08/a13604a2f924428cb68796440abc52d9.jpg)
