Yonghe Guoding Theater

Originally established in 1978, this theater was located on the tenth and eleventh floors of Jinyin Department Store (金銀百貨). The building featured a transparent elevator, arcade, skating rink, and bowling alley. The theater was later acquired by Huang Bingxi (黃炳熙) of Wonderful Cinemas (萬代福影城) fame and renamed Jinyin Theater (金銀戲院) with a standard two-screen format. There is also a chance the cabaret and dance hall on the ninth floor was converted for use as a theater and both operated simultaneously, but that is pure speculation. As the commercial district shifted, the department store closed first, and the theater followed around 2000. The building still operates but its exterior has deteriorated; the ground floor is now occupied by clinics and retail shops, and while online reports suggest the old theater might have been converted into an electronic gaming parlour, an on-site inspection in 2026 revealed two floors of apartments, one of them abandoned.
