Chuong Vang Cinema (Golden Bell cinema) was located at 72 Hang Bac Street. The building first operated as Thang Long Theater and hosted traditional Vietnamese performances such as tuong and cheo.

In 1925, the theater focused on cai luong performances and changed its name to Cai Luong Theater.

In the early 1940s, members of the Chinese community on Ta Hien Street bought the theater, renamed it Cinema Trung Quoc (Chinese Cinema) and screened Hong Kong films.

In 1951, artist Kim Chung and her husband Tran Viet Long bought the place, formed the Kim Chung cai luong troupe, and renamed the theater Van Lang. Following their move to the South after 1954, the theater came under public management, and the Hanoi Department of Culture officially renamed the venue Chuong Vang in 1956
