An old department store building in Zhongli just after sunrise in 2015.

A former cinema on the fourth and fifth floors of a 10-storey commercial building completed in 1981 as Hongyang Department Store (紅陽百貨). Far Eastern Department Store (遠東百貨) later operated here, lending the theater its name. Far Eastern relocated in 1993; Mirada (美華泰) and later Poya (寶雅生活館) occupied the retail space into the 2010s, but as of the mid-2020s the building seems mostly derelict. Traces of the ticket booth could be seen in the lobby in the late 2010s.

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.
