Baoxiang Temple 宝相寺

Cliff temple on Shibaoshan.

Baoxiang Temple is an ancient cliff/cave temple on Shibaoshan south of Jianchuan. 

While the historically more important Shizhong Temple further south is closed off to worship, Baoxiang Temple is the traditional center of the Shibaoshan Singing Festival, even though the official activities have now moved to the area in the parking lot below and to the main gate of Shibaoshan.
