Presently occupied by churches, the former Golden City and Venus Cinemas are the first two cinemas built in Queenstown. Planned by the SIT in 1958 to be at Dundee Road, the HDB moved them to the town centre for greater accessibility.
Both cinemas opened in late 1965 and were well known-for screening Taiwanese movies and gongfu flicks. The cinemas were also used for graduation ceremonies of neighbouring schools. As they aged, competition from newer cineplexes finally forced both to close in 1984.
