Shangshang Binbin Theater (上上賓賓戲院) was a twin second-run cinema on the upper levels of a commercial high-rise in central Zhongli, Taoyuan. Not much is known about this theater, though it may have operated into the late 2000s. It is also possible this was one theater that changed its name at some point, but netizens typically cite both names in sequence. A quick visit in 2024 revealed nothing of the original cinema, although access to the upper levels was prohibited by the valet out front.

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).
