Established on this old street in Beigang, Yunlin in 1954 and out of business around 1970. One of Beigang’s classic theaters, while no longer playing films, is open to the public. Divided in half; one half is a wedding cake shop and an exhibition space. Can still see the projection booth and balcony, although the upper levels are not ordinarily open to the public. The silver screen is also still present, albeit all rolled up on a post.

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.
