Shengping Theater, formerly known as "Shengping Tower", was built in Jiufen Old Street in 1934. It is a two-story old theater with a long history. The building adopted the popular baroque style at that time and became a famous scenic spot in Jiufen. Entering the theater, you can see a souvenir stamp placed next to the small window of the ticket booth in the past, you can stamp it yourself as a souvenir. Walking into the interior, the six wooden seats in a row were changed to seven or eight in a row. There are only more than 200 seats left, and more space is vacated as an exhibition hall. A charcoal stick movie projector is displayed in the theater, which is an antique projector left over from the past. The canteen displays the refrigerator from that year. In the past, ice cubes need to be put into the iron cabinet to refrigerate food. It is worth mentioning that Shengping Theater is also the main location for Hou Hsiao-hsien's film "City of Sadness". The posters of the movies from that year are still hanging on the propaganda column at the entrance. After many years, looking at Liang Chaowei's young face on the yellowed and blurred posters, there is an illusion of time travel.
