An early post-war cinema founded as Datong Theater (大同戲院) in 1946. It changed its name in 1949 and operated in Chiayi City until 1993. It is likely the building was demolished but there is a suspicious structure set back from the street a ways; was this only partly demolished?

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.
