An early post-war theater established on Chenggong Road (成功路) in 1951. It was mainly known for glove puppetry (布袋戲) shows. It closed in 1958 and was later converted into Serenade Dance Hall (小夜曲舞廳). The site is now occupied by a Michelin-starred Taiwanese restaurant (范記金之園草袋飯). It isn’t clear whether this is the original structure, but there’s a chance it might be!

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.
