Chinese cinema
Visit date:
Jan 2010
Year of build: 1934

Status: Mothballed

Previously a Chinese Opera theatre stood here, then in 1934 the site was turned into a Chinese cinema. The only thing operating from here now is a mini barbers shop, which is located in the old ticket booth.

The building itself is a pretty simple 2 storey hall structure, with touches of classical and Art Deco in the frontal elevation. A band of raised Chinese characters decorates the entrance way. The letters are made up of a mosaic of ceramic pieces.
The interior of the building is pretty bland, and has seen various alteration works over the years.
