Renovated into apartments long ago but still standing, the shell of the last cinema in Nanfang’ao.

One of three theaters serving Nanfang’ao in Su’ao, Yilan, during its 1960s fishing boom, established by Yóu Rùnxiāng (尤潤香) of Daxin Theater on the site of a former ironworks. Programming catered to fishermen and films were screened with intermissions featuring live performances of an erotic nature. Closed in 1976 due to declining catches and television competition; it has since been converted into residences. The name of the theater is spray-painted on the metal shutters beneath the awning.

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).
