A golden era theater in central Chiayi City in business from 1946 to 1992, standing near the corner of Guohua Street (國華街) and Minzu Road (民族路). Founded by Zeng Ben (曾本), it staged new drama, musical revues, and Taiwanese opera (歌仔戲) alongside screenings of second-run films. It was renamed Haoke Theater (豪客戲院) in its last few years of operation. Sometime around the 2000s it was demolished and converted into Pujing Electronics Gaming Center (葡京電子遊藝場). This, in turn, was torn down in June 2018 and the site has since been converted into a residential building.

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.
