Jiaoxi Theater (礁溪戲院) was established in 1955 in Jiaoxi, Yilan County, Taiwan. It was large enough to host up to 1,000 patrons at its peak. It went out of business in the 1980s and was converted into a garment factory. By the early 2000s it was a branch of Aplus Technics (奇韵科技股份有限公司). Later on it was again redeveloped into a banquet-style restaurant (天王星演藝廳) catering mostly to tour groups. Despite all these changes over the years the original name of the theater can still be seen at the top of the façade.

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.
