Travel Log for This Summer: Salt Lake City, Utah

Georgio2: Website

On July 24, 1847, Brigham Young and his pioneers discovered Salt Lake City, Utah. These pioneers wanted to practice their religion there. The city center is currently called Temple Square. The Salt Lake Temple had begun to be made in 1853, but because of the limited transportation for the materials to build the temple and making the temple perfect and sturdy, the building was completed 40 years later. During the 1960s, a place in temple square made a shopping center, so the business could thrive in temple square. Temple Square is the most historic place in Utah.

In Salt Lake City, Utah, I went to temple square. Temple square has many churches, and it even rained on the day I was there. In temple square, I attended a tour. One part of the tour was about watching the video that shows the family values of mormons. I also went to the Salt Lake Temple. The ceilings are high. If any normal sized human being jumped as high as gravity would let them in the temple, then they would still not touch the ceiling. There are many benches to sit, for which I believe that they are made out of wood. I listened to the what the people who led the tour explain the temple in Chinese and English. (For the tours around temple square, there were many languages offered.) Overall, Salt Lake City's temple square is very interesting to me.

The inn I stayed in Salt Lake City (called Crystal Inn), had WiFi. As a result, I could use Instagram. There was even a swimming pool, so I went swimming there. 

You should go to Salt Lake City, Utah by plane.
