Temple of the Week

This week, I'm spotlighting the Temple in Hong Kong, China. Thanks go to Anthony L. for this interesting photograph that shows the Temple located in the beautiful residential district of Kowloon Tong, a suburb of Hong Kong on the Kowloon Peninsula.

According to the LDS Church website, "The temple proper occupies the top three floors of the building while a meetinghouse, mission office, apartments for the temple president and mission president, and Beehive Clothing outlet fill the balance of the building. Under the plaza level is the baptistry and underground parking facility. The striking edice, characterized by Hong Kong colonial architecture, features high arching windows, ornamented walls, and a gold dome supporting the single spire and gold-leafed angel Moroni statue."
