Dege: Courtyard and Board

Dege is a stop worth making a special stop at the Sutra Printing Holy Land. One day, between the printing institute and Gengqing Temple, encounter the unique atmosphere of Dege.

Before he could even step deep into Dege, the presence of the Printing Institute had already arrived. From afar, seeing that scene, even the fatigue from traveling quietly eased, and he just wanted to stand a little longer.

Gengqing Temple is Dege's most captivating touch. Walking along its veins, every corner hides a different expression, stretching time and space here.

Avoiding crowds, you slip into Que'er Mountain, where Dege reveals its true self. Old people, alleys, stoves, and laughter all settle in memory before the scenic spots.

After nightfall, the Jinsha River in Dege is lit up, and the warm yellow light turns the daytime grandeur into a gentle glow. Sitting down and doing nothing is also a kind of arrival.

When leaving Dege, I felt a bit reluctant, but the scripture printing institute played back in my mind. But it was precisely this reluctance that proved this trip was worthwhile—it quietly left a part of itself with you.
