Located immediately next to the most famous temple in Sanxia, the eponymous theater is readily identifiable by the lettering still visible on the façade. It is otherwise inaccessible and used by the temple for storage. The precise date of construction is elusive but it seems likely to have been built in the Japanese colonial era.
