What travelers say:

Degedege County is located in the northwest of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, adjacent to Ganzi County in the east, Baiyu County in the south, Jiangda County in Tibet across the Jinsha River in the west, and Shiqu County in the north, located in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River and Yaqi River. It is the last county seat of Sichuan-Tibet 317 National Road. Dege Printing Academy is known as the "Encyclopedia of Tibetan Culture", "the cultural pearl of the Tibetan area" and "the treasure trove under the snowy mountains". It belongs to the jurisdiction of Dege Gengqing Temple, which is the information center for the input and export of Tibetan culture. The endless stream of believers in the printing house will attract the endless pilgrims every day, and they will turn around the printing house clockwise. After the turn, they will sit in the open space in front of the courtyard to bask in the sun and chat about home! The printing time of the Dege Institute is only half a year, from March 15 to September 20, the Tibetan calendar. During this period, people can visit the hospital to visit the pilgrimage, known as "Barchadong". Dege became the birthplace of Kangba standard Tibetan language, and it has nothing to do with the rich cultural accumulation of the Institute of Printing. Behind the Gengqing Temple Printing Institute is the Gengqing Temple, the main temple of the Tibetan Buddhist Sakya in Kang District. Every morning there will be a grand chanting ceremony! Location No. 17 Wenhua Street, Gengqing Town, Dege County. Accommodation guides live in Dege County. The traffic guides can be reached on foot, or you can take a taxi in the county.
