An old theater in suburban Miaoli City operating in the 1950s and 1960s, presumably somewhere in Yuqing Village (玉清里). It was generally considered to be in the north of the city, possibly on Fuxing Road. The Gold Museum Report suggests it was also known as Wenhua Theater (文化戲院) and Dongshan Theater (東山戲院) at different times. Presumably demolished.
