Architecture
The Potala Palace is Tibet‘s cardinal landmark and a structure that deserves a place as one of the wonders of eastern architecture. The Potala palace was built by Songtsen Gampo， the first king of Tibet， in the 7th century. The roof and many other parts of the Palace were decorated by pure gold， which was contributed by the Buddhist in Tibet. Since its construction， the Potala Palace has been the home of each successive Dalai Lamas， the religious leader of Tibet. This building dedicates not only to religious belief but also to the accommodation place—over a thousand Lamas live in it today. Shaped by the people of Tibet， the Potala Palace has a far-reaching influence on the Tibetan’s religion as well as every day lives.
Besides religious impact， buildings represent our intellectual and business behavior. Take Bank of China Tower as an example. It is located at No. 1 Garden Road， central Hong Kong. The tower itself is 315 meters high， and the unique style and spectacular appearance has made it one of the most distinguished buildings in the world. The BOC tower is a masterpiece of the world famous American-Chinese architect Mr. I.M.Pei. The inspiration of the design is derived from the elegant poise of bamboo. Now， the BOC tower is a symbolic of strength， vitality and growth， representing also the Bank‘s commitment to the rapid development of Hong Kong and to servicing the community. The BOC tower has not only recorded a glorious page in the construction history of Hong Kong but also highlighted the new phases of expansion in Hong Kong.
Constructed in the Victory Age， the Big Bell is now the biggest bell in the world and is still one of the important parts of the English lives.
