A movie theater complex established in a high-rise building in central Taichung in 1981. It closed due to decreasing patronage in 1995 but was purchased outright and reopened as a second-run cinema by Huang Bingxi (黃炳熙) in 1996. It eventually closed during the pandemic, in May 2022, and it has since been announced that it will probably not reopen. In recent years the upper level of the cinema also featured a museum of film memorabilia collected by the owner.

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.
