Changhua East Gate Fude Temple

Changhua East Gate Fude Temple, Taoist temple in Yongfu Village, Taiwan.

The Changhua East Gate Fude Temple stands on the former site of the county police traffic squad on Minsheng Road, facing the Yuanqing Temple. The roughly 50-ping plot belongs to the Yuanqing Temple and the Changhua Qing'an Temple and is managed by the city office. Inside is a large Tudigong statue carved by Su Yongliang of Huatan Township, with a tiger statue chosen by divination blocks in March 2005.

The East Gate land shrine originally stood opposite Changhua's second kindergarten. In 1920 road widening removed the south, west and north gates, and in 1922 the East Gate itself was demolished for the Taiwan Highway 1 project. By 1995 the East Gate Tudigong was the only city land god without a rebuilt temple; Mayor Wen Guoming learned of this while visiting the City God Temple. On 8 August 2002 the city decided to rebuild on the former traffic police site opposite Yuanqing Temple, about 50 ping, and the new statue was consecrated in June 2005.

The temple serves as a gathering place where residents come to pray and participate in seasonal festivities honouring Tudigong. These regular ceremonies and community events reflect how the deity remains central to local life and identity.

The temple is accessible by public transportation connecting to main roads, with clear signage marking the entrance. Visitors should plan their visit during daylight hours to fully appreciate the carved details and decorations.

In 2005 the temple commissioned a large statue of Tudigong riding a tiger, carved by Su Yongliang of Huatan Township. Pencil sketches of four tigers failed to win divine approval through moon blocks; only clay models did, on 4 March 2005. Researcher Lin Wenlong of the Taiwan Historica noted he had never heard of Tudigong having such a mount.
