Hong Kong China Temple Location Red = Operating Blue = Under Construction Yellow = Announced Black = Closed for Renovations
The Hong Kong China Temple was built in 1996 and is located at 2 Cornwall Street, Kowloon Tong. When it was completed it served also as a meetinghouse for a local congregation. The offices of the China Hong Kong Mission were also located in the building, as were living quarters for the temple president, mission president, and others. In 2005, with the completion of the new Church Administration Building in Wan Chai, the headquarters for the church moved there. In June 2010, with the completion of a new chapel across the street (street address: 18 Dorset Crescent), the meetinghouse and offices for the China Hong Kong Mission were relocated to this new building. The living quarters for the temple president, mission president, and six missionaries are still located in the temple building.
In January 2019, the LDS Church announced that the Hong Kong China Temple would close on July 8, 2019, for extensive renovations.[6] The temple was reopened in June 2022.
