POTALA PALACE, LHASA, TIBET: Located at 12,139ft (3,699m) above sea level, Potala Palace in Tibet's capital, Lhasa, is the world's highest palace. Built in 1649, it served as the winter palace for Dalai Lamas until 1959. It was then opened as a museum, although practising monks still live there. One of the most impressive features is a stupa of the fifth Dalai Lama, which is 48.7ft (14.85m) high and overlaid with 4.1 tons of gold, according to www.chinahighlights.com
