Dongmen Zhengde Temple (東門正德宮) - Spectral Codex

A small earth god temple inside Xin’ai Park (信愛公園) next to the old Dongmen Market in Zhongzheng, Taipei, a short walk from Yongkang Street. Alongside Tudigong (土地公) the temple enshrines Qingshui Zushi (清水祖師), an idol carved in 1934 with its spirit invited from Zushi Temple in Sanxia, and an unusual pair of deities, Jinyi Xiannü (金衣仙女) and Lüyi Xiannü (綠衣仙女), the Golden-Robed and Green-Robed Immortal Maidens.
