A vintage cinema on the north side of Zhunan, Miaoli, likely built in the 1960s given its size and functional appearance. Not much is known about ths history of this particular theater, but it was later renovated into a branch of the PXmart supermarket chain. The angled awning over what would have likely been the main entrance remains in place, but not much else would indicate it was ever a movie theater. An employee indicated nothing remains of the original equipment in 2024.

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.
