Established as Xinhua Theater (新華戲院) in 1946. It was the fourth theater in Hsinchu and the first constructed after the war. Initially it was focused almost entirely on traditional opera and also included living quarters for visiting troupes. Demolished long ago, possibly in the 1980s, and replaced by a parking lot. A candidate building was identified by scanning aerial photos from the 1970s.

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.
