Dege/Derge, is the hometown of Gesar King of Tibet, but the big draw here is the Bakong Scripture Printing Lamasery. The Printing House is located on the east bank of Jinsha River and was founded in 1729.

It houses more than 215,000 hardwood printing plates with the most important Tibetan sutras and ancient works. All Buddhist temples and monasteries in Tibet and China get all their prayer books from this very important place without exception. Don't think this video is boring...wait until you see the "printers" move in triple time... I was exhausted just watching!
