Opened in 1976 with the support of the military. It was a second-run theater with cheap tickets for service members and civilians alike so it was very prosperous in the early years. However, the military then began to build entertainment centers on base, and with the widespread popularization of television and home video in the 1980s, business plummeted. Out of business by 1987. Later replaced by Hotel Royal Hsinchu (新竹老爺酒店).

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.
