Founded in 1968 near the front of the train station, it was the largest and most luxurious theater in town when it was built. It was abandoned into the 2010s and was redeveloped into an outpost of the increasingly ubiquitous Poya (寶雅) chain of cosmetic stores starting in 2018.

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.
