Datong Theater, Former cinema in Datong Borough, Taitung City, Taiwan
The Datong Theater operated with six screening halls, offering patrons the opportunity to watch two films with a single admission ticket.
The theater opened in 1956 when films required transportation from Taipei to Hualien by air before reaching Taitung via railway for screening.
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the theater functioned as a central entertainment venue among 36 theaters serving Taitung County's 250,000 residents.
The structure suffered extensive damage from a fire in 2009, leading to its closure and subsequent demolition that began on December 2, 2020.
After its abandonment, nature reclaimed the building's interior, with papaya trees growing within the deteriorating structure before its demolition.
