A derelict skyscraper in the heart of Yuanlin. It was also the site of the Golden Empire Theater (黃金帝國戲院). Condemned since the 921 Earthquake in 1999. Typically it is not open to exploration, but some people are known to have gained access. Finally demolished in 2025.

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.
