In a groundbreaking fusion of technology and culture, participants of the China International Press Communication Center 2025 Program were transported to the iconic Potala Palace in Tibet—without leaving Beijing. Through the immersive power of virtual reality (VR), they embarked on a journey that transcended time and space, offering a vivid glimpse into the rich heritage of Tibetan Buddhism. The experience, facilitated by VR headsets, allowed participants to explore the palace’s intricate architecture, stunning murals, and serene landscapes, all while standing in a 15-by-5-meter room in the heart of Beijing. The virtual tour began with a breathtaking view of snow-capped mountains, leading to the discovery of the palace perched high above the Lhasa Valley. Guided by a priestess in a vibrant red robe, participants navigated through the White and Red Palaces, marveled at ancient murals, and even floated above a desert landscape. The experience culminated in a spiritual moment, where participants held glowing orbs symbolizing their wishes and prayers. This innovative use of VR not only preserves cultural heritage but also transforms it into an engaging, interactive experience, far removed from traditional history lessons. The Potala Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994, remains a testament to Tibetan, Chinese, and Indian architectural brilliance. This virtual journey highlights the potential of technology to make history accessible and captivating for future generations.
