Established by Tseng Ching-shui (曾清水) as Shiquan Theater (十全大戲院) in 1979. Business was so successful that the entire structure was rebuilt in 1998 and rebranded as a cineplex. This late period second-run theater barely managed to survive the COVID-19 pandemic, and eventually closed in 2022. When it opened in the late 1990s it was four theaters operating in the same building: Bo’ai Theater (博愛戲院) on the 4th floor; Jinyuan Theater (錦元戲院) on the 6th; Dameitian Theater (大每天戲院) on the 8th; and Meiyi Theater (美益戲院) on the 9th.

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.
