This is the original site of Okayama-za (岡山座), a large theater established in the late Japanese colonial era. It was appropriated by the Japanese and later nationalized by the KMT. For a while it operated as the Gangshan Township Theater (岡山鎮大戲院), but the original structure was demolished and replaced by the high-rise currently on this site as of the early 2020s. Tongyi Theater was established in 1984 and managed to survive for decades as a second-run theater, finally closing in 2022.

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.
