Built in 1968, this old theater occupies the upper floors of a mixed-use building with a traditional market at ground level. It suffered a fire in the 1980s but was renovated into a second-run theater with twin halls and a total capacity of 800. Closed around 2012, abandoned since then, and occasionally open to the public for special events.

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.
