Dehelong Temple

　　Dehelong Temple is located on the side of Majiu Highway in Dehelong Valley, Kangsai Township, about 6 kilometers east of the county town, and follows the Nyingma sect. It is a tent-based monastery that combines the Gelug, Nyingma, and Jo nang schools, founded in the Iron Ox year of the 14th Rabjung cycle. After the Gelug branch monastery was relocated in 1939, the Nyingma and Jo nang schools continued to share the site as one monastery. In the 1950s, following the division of the Kangsai tribe into the two townships of Kangsai and Mentang, the monastery also split into two.
