Diyi Theater (第一大戲院) was in business throughout the 1980s, but not much is known about its operating history apart from that. It shared the building with Tongyi Theater (統一大戲院), but the relationship between these businesses is unclear. There is also a chance this may have been known as Datong Theater (大統戲院) or simply Neili Theater (內壢戲院), although that might be another place entirely. At any rate, the former theater was renovated into a church long ago.
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.
