Early post-war theater established by Su Taifa (蘇添發) and initially named Xinleyuan (新樂園). This theater moved to the current location and a more permanent structure was built. Due to mismanagement it went bankrupt in 1962, right as the golden age of cinema began. The business was bought the following year by Chen Qiqing (陳啟清) and renamed Xiantang Theater. It eventually went out of business, likely in the 1980s, and much of the structure was dismantled for a road widening project, leaving only the façade. Eventually this was also demolished as part of a dengue fever protection program, erasing any trace of this former theater.

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.
