Dynasty Theater (朝代大戲院)

Dynasty Theater opened in 1991 as a first-run cinema in Datong before transitioning to a second-run a few years later. Renovations in 2012 improved conditions but business remained turbulent. It closed in May 2020 for what was announced as a temporary closure for renovations during the COVID-19 pandemic, but never reopened. The operators formally announced its closure in January 2023, citing the pandemic and issues with the lease. The former theater was later renovated into a KTV and branch of World Gym.

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.
