Puxin Daming Theater (埔心大明戲院)

Golden age cinema on a major road in Puxin (埔心), a settlement in eastern Yangmei, Taoyuan. It is readily identified by the name painted near the top of the structure, Daming Theater Shopping Center (大明戲院商場). It has since been partly renovated into a supermarket, previosly a branch of Wellcome and more recently the Carrefour Market Yangmei Zhongxing Store (家樂福超市楊梅中興店), but there’s a good chance the original theater is still preserved somewhere upstairs.
