Established in the early 1930s as Taikan-butai (大觀舞臺), a venue for traditional opera and other performances. After the war it was renamed and it was operated by Zhang Wuding (張烏定). Due to hyperinflation the site was soon sold and converted into a soap factory. This was eventually demolished but the site was later used for a cinema that became the eponymous Banqiao Theater.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
