Miri Central is (as of 2016) a proposed commercial area located at the junction of Jalan Cahaya and Miri Bypass Road, in the vicinity of Miri General Hospital, Eastwood Valley Golf and Country Club.
Located along China Street, Cathay Cinema was one of the three large purpose-built movie theatres in Miri. Like the other cinemas of the time, the building was basically a large hall with rows of seats within and a small stage at the end, with projector screens on the wall.
