The auditorium doesn’t look like much from the outside, but then again, it never had to stand out.

Ziyuanzhuang Auditorium is a former CPC (台灣中油) company theater in a structure dating back to the Japanese colonial era. Up until the early 1990s it screened films on weekends and special occasions. Nowadays it is still used for special events, weddings, and awards ceremonies. After the nearby CPC ice shop was destroyed in a fire in 2024 it was repurposed for use selling the popular dessert.

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.
