Cheung Chau Theatre, Movie theater in Cheung Chau, Hong Kong

Cheung Chau Theatre is a two-storey former cinema at 120 San Hing Back Street on Cheung Chau, Hong Kong, built in a Chinese eclectic style from stone and large rocks. Its facade bears the name in Chinese characters above an entrance canopy with spiral columns; inside, the ground-floor auditorium held over 600 seats facing a white screen the owner imported and installed himself. The roof now has a large opening from storm damage.

Opened in 1931 under a Yao proprietor, the cinema showed Cantonese and Western films, with a live narrator explaining the action and three daily screenings. It closed in the early 1990s after more than sixty years; the site reopened in 2023 as a cultural park. It is a Grade III historic building.

The theatre screened Cantonese and Western films, with a live narrator explaining the action to the audience. Vendors outside sold grilled squid, sugarcane and preserved plums, and the crowd often filled the aisles. The name 長洲戲院 remains carved above the entrance.

The theatre stands at 120 San Hing Back Street on Cheung Chau, reached by ferry from Hong Kong. The 2023 revival opened a cultural park with four zones, including the 1931 Studio and a 1,000 sq ft lawn; most facilities charge separate fees. The main building is slated to become a Chinese restaurant by late 2025.

There are plans to convert the building into a restaurant while keeping its historic structure in place. If this happens, the iron seats and screen may remain visible inside a dining space, an arrangement rarely seen anywhere.
