With the growth of the economy and cultural demands, there has been a boom in the construction of modern theatres in China over the past 20 years. A great number of theatres with world class design and facilities have been built. In many regions, theatres have become important places for the public to appreciate elegant arts and improve their cultural literacy, and theatres themselves have become cultural landmarks of their cities.
