A wooden theater was constructed on this site in the Japanese colonial era. In the post-war period it was requisitioned by the military for use as a detention center following the 228 Incident and declaration of martial law. As detention facilitiesin Ankeng were built this site was cleared and the new Xindian Theater (新店戲院) was built on the site in 1958. Perhaps because the name had already been claimed for another theater up the road it was more generally known as Bitan Theater (碧潭戲院) for much of its operating history. Eventually it was demolished and replaced by a public market building (新店區公有碧潭零售市場), though the exact timing is unclear.

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.
