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!

Gengqing Temple is the most historical and cultural temple in western Sichuan. It has a history of 290 years, but it is still using the most primitive wood printing, following the thousands of Tibetan hand-printed scriptures, and is currently the only "printing factory" in the world that still hand-printed scriptures. There are few tourists from other places, all of them are worshipped and visited by local Tibetan monks.
The most famous temple in Dege County is Gengqing Temple, a name many people are unfamiliar. But its "other name" Dege Printing Academy you must have heard of. In fact, this Dege Printing Academy is a magnificent "publisher" on the west side of Gengqing Temple. It is a affiliation with Gengqing Temple. From the Dege Yinjingyuan, turn left, go uphill, go through the large row of turner wheels, and walk for 3 or 5 minutes. Because the reputation of Dege Yinjingyuan is too big, so many tourists only know that the Yinjingyuan does not know Gengqing Temple.
It’s really good to have faith. What can you say, feel right, you can sense it. This temple is on the left hand side of the Yinjingyuan, there is a river on the right, and there is a simple toilet. There is a big turn wheel on the extension slope, and you can walk up to the left hand side for3-5 minutes (slow step). Do not take the middle stairs, mortals please walk on both sides, respect others' faith.
It is recommended that three or five friends travel to Gengqing Temple together, and it is a little scary to go alone. Especially ladies are best not to go alone.
