Tamkang Theater (淡江戲院)

Former golden age cinema on Tamsui’s busiest tourist thoroughfare. It was renovated sometime after 1994, as the current appearance does not resemble its former look in archival photographs. The current building was indeed screening films until around 2011. It was home to two halls, Golden Dragon (金龍) and Golden Horse (金馬), and the name of the theater is still visible on the exterior.
