A former theater on the south side of Dayuan, Taoyuan. Its operational history is unknown but the building appears to be original. It might have also been known as Nanmen Cineplex (南門電影院), although the building doesn’t look large enough to support more than one screen. It also seems to have been known simply as Dayuan Theater (大園戲院) for a period of time, possibly because it was the only theater in town. It is located just off Zhongshan South Road (中山南路) which used to be known as Nanmen Road (南門路). Nowadays it operates as a parking garage.

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.
