The eponymous Dounan Theater was established in 1936 on Shun’an Street (順安街) around the intersection with Yong’an Street (永安街) in Dounan. It continued to operate into the post-war era and beyond, specializing in traditional opera and performance more than screening films. It was almost certainly demolished decades ago but an on-site inspection is required to confirm no traces remain.

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.
