Zongsa Temple is located in Ganzi Dege County, Sichuan Province, at an altitude of 3,800 meters. Built in 746 AD, it is one of the oldest Tibetan temples. Zongsa Temple is far away, from Baiyu to Dege halfway can be seen, the temple is built on the hillside, up and down, deep and quiet, the appearance of the temple looks natural and simple, although the doors and windows are simple, but the color is very rich.
The picture was taken in early August 2021. Dege is the hometown of King Gesar. It is also called "the three ancient cultural centers of Tibetans" in addition to the three well-known Tibetan Buddhist imprinting institutes, the Dege imprinting institute, and there is also a hidden secret: Maisu area. Maisu, located in the Maiqu River, a tributary of the Jinsha River, this small valley covers the complete Wuming Tibetan culture, and it is rare to fully preserve the national culture. Maisu has many undeveloped natural resources, alpine Tianhu, and many national protection of animal and plant resources. This is the only place in the five Tibetan areas of the province that can fully inherit Tibetan crafts. From Dege County, go up along the river valley, and start splitting from Dingquhe Bridge. A total of about 2.5H can reach Maisu Town. The road from Dingquhe Bridge to Maisu Town is very narrow, with a stone wall on one side and a river valley on the other. The scenery type is similar to the Changpinggou Scenic Area of Siguniang Mountain. Dege-Dingquhe Bridge About 80 minutes Dingquhe Bridge-Maisu Town About 70 minutes Maisu Town-Qinle Workshop About 15 minutes Qinle Workshop-Duopugou About 40 minutes Duopugou-Baiyu About 2 hours.🎈 Maisu Town has the reputation of the hometown of craftsmanship, bronze statue, Tangka, Black pottery and other kinds of hand workshops, here is said to have a total of 27 hand workshops, of which Qinle workshop is relatively large, and is the only one with accommodation. 🎈 Zongsa Temple: A monastery on Maisu Mountain, when I first entered Maisu, the view from a distance was very beautiful, although not as good as the Vedic Temple, but it was also very spectacular; 🎈 Duopugou: It is about 40 minutes drive from Maisu Town. This is a place where locals play dams. The current cement road has been built to the deepest part of Duopugou Scenic Area. The depth is a small lake and streams sink down. There are many locals playing dams there, which is very leisure. The overall scenery index 3.5 a star, the overall scenery is not very colorful; 🎈 The beauty of the wrong road: to Duopugou is to start the separation of roads from Puma Township, but we accidentally drove to the mountain. When we just left Puma Township, the road was a large sea of purple flowers on one side, and the river valley stream on the other. The valley and the blue sky in the distance were very beautiful; Continue to drive up the mountain is a dirt road, and the village below is also beautiful from the top to the middle of the mountain; if there is plenty of time, this town is worth staying for a night to feel slowly, and it is a pity that I have not come in a hurry and explore so many handicraft workshops. #Ancient town and ancient village worth visiting #Small Discovery Society #Summer is here
Also local, famous temple, but relatively small, is said to have been occupied by King Gesar.
