Completed in 1935 with investment from tea merchant Chen Tianlai (陳天來), this was a luxurious theater and performance venue with a revolving stage and a capacity of approximately 1,600. It was comparable to Zhongshan Hall in several accounts. After suffering a fire in 1969 it doesn’t seem to have recovered. It was demolished decades ago and replaced by a commercial tower.

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.
