The general named it after the Buddhist holy site Mount Putuo of Zhejiang Province, which is considered the abode of Guanyin. In 1924, Hui Quan was appointed the first abbot of the South PutuoTemple and other masters like Hong Yi and Yin Shun taught here. The temple underwent further renovation in the 1980s.
