Jincheng Theater (金城戲院) is located in central Dongshi, an old lumber town in the interior of Taichung. Very little information exists to substantiate the history of this particular theater, but it operated into the 1980s and was likely out of business after the 921 Earthquake devastated this town in 1999. Later on it was converted into a KTV of the same name. Whether the structure currently on this site is the original shell of the theater is unclear, but staff at some of the nearby shops seemed to indicate it wasn’t completely demolished. There is some suggestion it was actually established in the late Japanese colonial era but without a more credible source I would consider that highly speculative.
