Baima Temple is situated on the north bank of the Huangshui River in Hongyazi Gully, Huzhu Tu Autonomous County. In ancient times, it was known as Vajra Cliff Temple, and its Tibetan name is Mazang Hermitage. The temple dates back to the 11th century.

It is said that the founding of the temple is closely related to Lachen Gomchen Rabsel, the pioneer of the Buddhist revival movement historically called the Lower Route Propagation of Buddhism in Tibetan Buddhism. A clay statue of him was once enshrined here.

At the foot of the cliff stands a stone Buddha statue known in Tibetan as "Maitreya Overlooking the River". Featuring a simple and vigorous style, the statue holds an alms bowl in its left hand while its right hand makes a pushing gesture. It embodies the ancient working people's wish to eliminate floods. The white pagoda nestled among lush green trees forms a delightful contrast with the ancient stone Buddha, creating a unique scenic view.
