It is an ancient temple built more than 1,200 years ago during the Nanzhao period of the Tang Dynasty. It is a rare "inverted slope temple" in the country (all the way downhill when entering the mountain gate). The three sects of Buddhism, Chinese, Tibetan and Southern Buddhism, coexist and have a water courtyard style garden layout.
