Established around 1932 with a capacity of 950 as Sekai-kan (世界館). After the war it was renamed Dashijie Theater (大世界戲院). In 1966 seven children were trampled to death during an extremely overcrowded Lunar New Year film screening. It continued to operate for many years but was eventually demolished around 2000. There is now a KFC branch on site.

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.
