Former theater on the main traffic circle in Yuli. Established in the late Japanese colonial era as Chitose-za (千歲座) or Chitose-kan (千歲館) with a capacity of 700, it was one of several theaters seized and nationalized by the KMT in the late 1940s. It seems to have been known by many names throughout its tumultuous history, most prominently Yuli Theater (玉里戲院) and Xinguang Theater (新光戲院).
