Established in 1948, this wooden theater was built in a Japanese style and still looms over Neiwan Old Street. It was in active operation until 1986. As this former coal mining town experienced a tourism boom the theater was converted into a Hakka restaurant, but this business shut down around 2023, and the future of the theaters has become uncertain.

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.
