Hong Kong China Temple

The Hong Kong China Temple has an amazing story! President Hinckley was very aware of the members in that area of the world and wanted to get a temple built before the Chinese Government took back control of Hong Kong, so he worked very hard and was inspired to build the temple where it is. It is also extremely beautiful, we are grateful to have pictures of the inside because it recently underwent renovation. Check out the pictures and enjoy this episode!
