Yongcheng Theater, Historic theater in Yanshuei District, Taiwan
Yongcheng Theater is a mid-20th century building on Guokang Street featuring traditional Taiwanese architectural elements and a preserved stage curtain. The space retains original cypress chairs and vintage film equipment that were maintained during restoration work.
The building began as a rice mill during Japanese occupation. After World War II ended, it was converted into a theater in 1945 when Taiwan entered a new phase.
The theater functions as a gathering place where the neighborhood comes together for films and performances. Locals use the space to experience entertainment and connect with regional events that shape community life.
The theater opens on select weekdays and Sundays with different hours depending on the day. Plan your visit according to the opening schedule, as timing varies throughout the week.
The building has a double life - it was built for industrial use but later transformed into a cultural space. This conversion shows how older structures can gain new purpose and meaning.
