Established by Fu Yuanqi (傅元熾) in 1940 as Kokō-za (湖口座), this small theater and playhouse with a capacity of 400 remained in operation until it was destroyed in a fire in 1970. It was not the only theater in the family; Fu Yuanqi’s son managed the nearby Diyi Theater. The original location was on Minquan Road.

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.
