The former Meihua Theater on Xikang Road, Puli.

Established in 1971, this standalone theater in the heart of the entertainment district in Puli went out of business sometime in the 1980s. This cinema with a capacity of 570 may have also been named Ludu Theater (綠都戲院) and Lidu Theater (麗都戲院) at different times; the Gold Museum Report suggests these were all the same. It was repurposed for use by a church later on, but this appears to have withdrawn from the space as of the mid-2020s. Currently there are no signs of occupancy as of 2026.

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.
