Established in an alleyway next to Beiji Temple (北極殿) the 1930s as Tamai-za (玉井座), a venue for traditional opera and performance. During the war it was appropriated for use as a warehouse, but operations resumed for a time in the late 1940s. It grew so popular that an overflow theater built with bamboo was constructed nearby (竹仔戲院). Later converted into residential buildings.

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.
