Established in 1936, this elegant theater with a capacity of 800 was the first to regularly screen films, in additional to hosting traditional opera troupes and other performances. Originally known by its Japanese name, Eiraku-za (榮樂座), and occasionally Eiraku-kan (榮樂館 or 永樂館) in records. In business until the very late 1980s and later demolished.

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.
