Established in 1971, this standalone theater in the heart of the entertainment district in Puli went out of business sometime in the 1980s. This cinema with a capacity of 570 may have also been named Ludu Theater (綠都戲院) and Lidu Theater (麗都戲院) at different times; the Gold Museum Report suggests these were all the same. It was repurposed for use by a church later on, but this appears to have withdrawn from the space as of the mid-2020s. Currently there are no signs of occupancy as of 2026.
