Yuntao Temple is built on the surrounding Yunyan, which is shaded by trees and quiet. In front of the Gladiator River, the green hills are hidden and the river is swift. Huolong Temple is located in the north of Yuntao Temple, and it is also built on the mountain. When you climb into the temple and have a bird's eye view of the nearby mountains and rivers, you know it like the back of your hand. According to the fire dragon temple "the first emperor tablet test" records, Su Wenda, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, followed Ma Yuan, a general of Fu Boda, and stood on tiptoe. Later, because of miasma, the soldiers fell ill and stayed in central Yunnan. On one occasion, they happened to pass through Xinluoyi (near Anning) and met the local county magistrate Asura.
