According to the documentary The Potala Palace, the landmark in Lhasa has eight of its 13 stories embedded in rock. Beneath the palace lies a maze-like network of underground spaces — dark, hidden, and filled with myths. Some say they conceal gold, silver, jade, and rare treasures. Others believe a secret passage leads all the way to the Lhasa River.
