History.
The original temple dates back to the 14th century, during the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368). The modern temple was founded by Taoist priest Xu Rixian () in 1394, in the reign of Hongwu Emperor (1368–1398) of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644).

In November 1993 it has been designated as a provincial level cultural heritage by the Yunnan Provincial Government.
