Ko Shing Theatre
Kiu Fat Building (僑發大廈) occupies the location of the former Ko Shing Theatre.
Ko Shing Theatre (Chinese: 高陞戲院), in Sheung Wan, Central and Western District, was Hong Kong's second indoor opera movie theatre.[1]
The theatre was built in 1890 (other sources mention earlier dates). It was rebuilt and renovated several times and was finally demolished in 1973.[2]
The former site of the Theatre, at 117 Queen's Road West, is part of the Central and Western Heritage Trail, Sheung Wan Route.[2]
