Established in 1936 as Kobi-za (虎尾座), the first commercial entertainment venue in the town of Huwei, Yunlin. It had 618 seats and enough room to accommodate 1,000 people for especially popular shows. Ownership changed in 1944 and it was renamed Huwei Theater (虎尾戲院) and mainly screened films. After the war it was renamed Yingong Theater (銀宮戲院). It was demolished in 1969.

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.
