Established as Xinsheng Theater (新生戲院) in the post-war era. This theater operated into the mid-1970s at least. Sometime thereafter the entire block was levelled to build the Huilong Building (惠隆大樓), in which the newly renamed Guanhua Theater (觀華戲院) continued to operate for a time. Later it was renovated into a bowling alley on the third floor of this building.

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.
