Dêgê
From Halal Explorer
Dege (Tibetan: Dêgê - Mandarin Chinese: 德格; Dégé), is in Sichuan Province in south-west China. The city is famous for its Tibetan lamasery which hosts an invaluable treasure of wooden printing blocks with Tibetan Buddhist texts. Historically, it belongs to the ancient Tibetan province of Kham and lies at an elevation of 3100 meters, (10,170 ft). Sharing its destiny with Kangding, Dégé's location in a narrow valley and the resulting lack of space has led to a total demolition of the town's original center and its rebuilding with high, distasteful tiled generic Han Chinese-style architecture. Nevertheless the surrounding quarters on the valley's slopes still preserve the old Tibetan traditions including the temple complex that contains a maze of wonderful old style wooden Tibetan buildings just up the road from the temple complex. Dege lies as the last town on the provincial border of Sichuan across from the T.A.R. It is a last stop before the wild Sichuan-Tibet highway leaves West Sichuan and if heading from the east requires a grueling day trip from Ganzi over a 5050 meter pass, well worth the incredible views alone.

Travel to Dêgê
The paved parts of the road leading up from Ganzi are in disrepair with many potholes, while the part over the 5050m Tro La pass is dirt track of rubble in particularly bad condition. The amazing scenery somewhat pays off for the ordeal as you pray you don't go over the edge! As of June 2012 and the entire length of the Ganzi-Dege road is under construction (in the process of being paved), and most of it is still in very rough condition.

Stay SafeBeware of altitude sickness if travelling here straight from the Sichuan Province lowlands/basin. Also beware the numerous stray dogs. Beggars near the bridge and riverside are quite aggressive in comparison to China and its Tibetan regions in general (including trained children); however nothing one yuan won't do. Dege is subject to travel bans to Foreign Muslims during times deemed sensitive by the Chinese government, so if you are a foreigner and you are allowed in, you will be safer if you keep any sympathies you may have for the Tibetan independence movement to yourself.
