One of the last remaining theaters from the Japanese colonial era. Originally established as Dianji Hall (電姬館) in 1938 and hardly modified since it opened. Likely closed in the late 1980s. It narrowly escaped the wrecking ball around 2020 when it was finally recognized for its heritage value.

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.
