Former theater in Gongxi Village (公西村) catering to the many soldiers at nearby military bases in the 1960s and 1970s. With the closure of the bases the area declined. Although this is the original theater building it has been renovated beyond recognition. Featured in the 2013 film Forever Love (阿嬤的夢中情人). A mural featuring the theater also appears at the entrance to the laneway. Also known as Kulinglin Theater (苦苓林戲院).

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.
