Originally established in 1910 as Hōzan-za (鳳山座), the second purpose-built performance venue in the Kaohsiung area. It was presumably reconstructed in 1931 as it was then known as the New Theater, a performance venue with a capacity of 1,000. After the war it was purchased by a Taiwanese-owned trading company (大觀商事買) and renamed Daguan Theater (大觀戲院), though it seems the name never really stuck, as it is generally known simple as Fengshan Theater. Demolished long ago and replaced by a department store (A+1精品百貨) for a time, and more recently a branch of World Gym.
