According to legend, in 505 AD, after the local people dug up a boulder of more than ten feet, two white cranes often flew to stop on the boulder, so the monk Deqi decided that this place was a "Buddhist fairy" and went out to raise money to build a temple. After the completion of the temple, the white crane flew south, hence the name "White Crane Nanxiang Temple". The ancient town of Nanxiang comes from this temple. In A.D. 1700, Emperor Kangxi personally inscribed the plaque of "Yun Xiang Temple", so "Baihe Nanxiang Temple" was renamed as "Yun Xiang Temple".
