Established as early as 1968 as Tanzi Theater (潭子戲院). It was later renamed, but the circumstances are obscure. After closing it was renovated into a pharmacy. The building currently on site has been confirmed to be the original theater. Not much remains to hint at its former purpose except a raised area at the back of the pharmacy, likely the original stage.

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.
