Guanxi Dongtai Theater (關西東泰戲院) - Spectral Codex
關西東泰戲院

An early-post-war theater operating in Guanxi from around 1946 until 1981. The building was originally a pottery factory later converted for use as a theater. It specialized in traditional opera and performances more than screening films, which was more for Diyi Theater a couple streets over. Although it remains standing there is not much to see from the outside, and the interior was renovated into a clothing factory long ago. It has been abandoned once again but isn’t particularly interesting except to the most dedicated theater hunters.
