｜Trip to Western Sichuan: Dege Printing House Travel Guide

Dege, as a fortress of Sichuan, Tibet, and Qinghai provinces, and as the center of Kham culture and the birthplace of Southern Tibetan medicine, has many niche treasures worth visiting multiple times. But this time, we came specifically for the Dege Printing House, 😊. During my trip to Tibet in 2003, I learned about this place from the travel book 'Tibetan Antelope'. This time, I was able to visit and observe the entire printing process, and it was truly worth the trip 👍. 👍️Recommendation: Dege Printing House is the largest Tibetan cultural printing house in China and one of the top three printing houses in the world. Dege Printing House not only prints scriptures of its own sect but also prints scriptures of various sects. Therefore, the scriptures you see in many places may originate from here, an encyclopedia of Tibetan culture 👍. Dege Printing House is also a Tibetan scripture library, where you can see the earliest original molds. The feeling of touching them with your hands, the sense of age they bring, is so wonderful! 📅Travel Guide: Ticket 🎫 50/person. It is recommended to follow their printing steps for the tour. It takes about 1.5 hours. 🏨Accommodation Guide: You can choose to stay in Dege according to your itinerary or drive to Manigango County. 💗Other tips: The printing house starts at 2 PM in the afternoon. After understanding this, you can arrange your subsequent itinerary accordingly. We drove to Yulong Lhatso near Manigango, but it was too late. The entrance fee to the scenic area is 30 yuan, but it was already dark when we arrived, so we didn't get to explore much.
