Cinema debuts on S. China Sea island

SANSHA - More than 200 residents and soldiers on Yongxing Island watched the Chinese movie The Eternity of Jiao Yulu on Saturday, marking the opening of China's southernmost cinema.

Located in Sansha, the country's newest city in the South China Sea, Sansha Yinlong Cinema offers the latest blockbusters.

"The cinema will show at least one film a day, so residents and soldiers on Yongxing Island can enjoy films at the same time as moviegoers nationwide," said Gu Xiaojing, general manager of Hainan Media Group, the parent of Hainan Film Co, which operates the theater.
