This movie theater reminded me of old movie houses in the Philippines. The wooden chairs, the ticketing office outside as well as a snack counter. This is located in a popular tourist area as it is just adjacent to the lantern alley. When in Jiufen, make sure to spend some few minutes exploring the interior of this old movie theater. There is also a room that serves as a museum of old photos and memorabilia when the theater was still operating.

This is a free museum located in Jiufen (from within Jiufen Old shopping street, take the stairs down). There's nothing particularly remarkable about the theater itself, but it's set up to look exactly as it did back in the 1930's-1950's. There's a screen with chairs and I couldn't help but wonder if they ever actually play movies on it (nothing was playing when I was there). Even so, there were a few interesting items put on display.
