Established as Eiraku-za (永樂座) by tea merchant Chen Tianlai (陳天來) in 1924. This was a large theater with seating for more than 1,500 audience members. It was exclusively for the performance of traditional forms of opera, plays, concerts, and so on. After the war it was briefly renamed Yongle Stage (永樂舞台) and then Yongle Theater. Starting in 1954 it began to screen films in addition to hosting performances, but it only survived until 1960, and was demolished sometime after that.

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.
