A golden age theater with a capacity of 500 established in 1959. It was a venue for traditional opera and performance as well for screening films. After the theater shut down it continued to host opera and other performances on a permanent stage built in the courtyard out front. In the late 1990s or early 2000s it was converted into a factory. Also known as Xizhoudi Theater (溪洲底戲院) for the name of the surrounding community.

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.
