Bowling enjoyed a period of immense popularity in Taiwan from the 1970s through the 1990s. Bowling alleys were often housed in mixed-use buildings alongside theaters, ice rinks, and other entertainment venues. As the industry declined, many of these establishments closed, leaving behind derelict spaces that attracted urban explorers. This collection documents the remnants of Taiwan’s bowling culture.
