The image captures a detailed street-level view of the Potala Palace in Chengguan District, Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, China, under an overcast sky. The prominent Potala Palace, a multi-story white and red fortified complex, stands on a rugged hill in the background. The foreground features a wet, paved urban area reflecting the dull sky, indicative of recent precipitation. On the left, two tall grey lampposts, each fitted with a security camera, are visible. Five electric scooters or motorcycles are parked in the immediate foreground, each equipped with large delivery boxes or covered cargo on their rear, with visible license plates such as "藏A 92250" and "藏A 7494." Beyond these, multiple passenger vehicles, including cars and a white van, are parked in rows, alongside a blue three-wheeled utility vehicle. A line of round, grey concrete bollards separates the vehicle parking from a pedestrian walkway. Several individuals are present in the mid-ground. People are observed walking on the wet pavement, dressed in jackets and coats. Two individuals are seated on separate bollards, one looking at a mobile phone. Further to the right, a group of people congregates, some near an open orange patio umbrella and a blue tent-like structure. One person wears a wide-brimmed hat, and another wears a medical mask. To the upper right, a tree branch with green and yellowing leaves extends into the frame. Denser autumn foliage, displaying green, yellow, and orange hues, borders the right side of the scene. A light-colored building with multiple windows is visible at the base of the palace hill on the left.
