A RMB 330 million (48 million U.S. dollars) preservation project on the Potala Palace, Norbu Lingka Palace and Sagya Monastery, three of the most important relics in Tibet, are expected to be completed late this year.
The work began in 2002. The Potala Palace, built in the seventh century, is listed on the world cultural heritage list. Norbu Lingka, which means "treasure park" in the Tibetan language, was the summer palace of the Dalai Lama. Sagya Monastery, about 4,300 meters above the sea level, houses numerous classical books on Buddhism and precious paintings.
Repairs to the ancient buildings and ancient fresco paintings at the three sites have almost been completed, while the fire control, lighting, and water supply and drainage systems are expected to be completed in July or August.
