Former golden age cinema in Xinshi. It was active in the 1970s (and probably earlier) and was later torn down and replaced by a mixed-use building containing the more modern Lingdi Cineplex (伶蒂電影院) on the second floor. This cineplex went out of business sometime in the late 1990s or early 2000s, leaving only a sign in the lobby on the ground floor as of the late 2010s. By 2025 the building has been further renovated and no trace of the original theater can be found. The location of the original theater was also verified with aerial photos from 1975.

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.
