Second-run cinema at the intersection of Zhonghua Road and Minsheng Road in Taichung’s West District, operating out of the former Hanshin Department Store (漢神百貨) building since 1996. After the department store closed in 1998, the cinema switched to a second-run model around 2001. With seven screens, including a distinctive domed auditorium, it became one of the last operations of its kind in Taichung following the closure of Wonderful Cinemas (萬代福影城) in 2022.

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.
