A second-run theater built by Kunming Construction Company Building (昆銘建設公司大樓), likely at the start of the 1980s. By the mid-1980s it was more focused on catching the cabaret wave, and may have dabbled in adult entertainment for a while. Closed in 1990. The location is wrong; it was situated closer to the city center.
