Baoxiang Temple was originally built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573 CE) under the name "Baoxiang Temple," named after a revered Vajrasattva statue believed to have been carved by an Indian monk. Destroyed by fire in the Qing Dynasty, it was rebuilt through donations by local gentry and renamed "Baoxiang An"—"Precious as an Elephant"—symbolizing wisdom and auspiciousness.

The temple houses three Ming-era stone steles documenting restoration records and donors, one referencing imperial support for Buddhism. Architecturally, it blends Han and Tibetan styles, featuring hip-roof design with upturned eaves, while interior murals depict scenes from the Prajna Paramita Sutra in vibrant, well-preserved colors.

Today, Baoxiang Temple is designated a Provincial Key Cultural Relic Protection Site, serving as a vital source for studying Buddhist art and social history in Southwest China.
