A former theater likely established in the 1980s in the basement of Chenggong Market (成功市場), which is in turn located inside the Lianhong Community Building (聯宏社區大樓). It was notorious for screening adult films and hosting strip tease events (牛肉場) prior to closing down around 1990. Soldiers posted to the Matsu Islands would have to wait for a boat in the nearby Jinma Hotel (金馬賓館) so there were often young men with idle time in this part of town. No sign of it remains in 2024.

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.
