FYI I had a companion who's Grandfather was the first Mission President in the then Southern Far East mission, which included Hong Kong and he bought the land that is now where the Temple is, it is quite the story

From the link: "Even though it served just a small group of Saints, the temple was very busy. It was the only temple at the time “where one makes an appointment to participate in an endowment session,” noted President Thomas S. Monson, now a counselor in the First Presidency. “It is the only temple I know of where stake presidents say, ‘What can we do? Our home teaching is somewhat down because everyone is in the temple!’ When I heard that comment, I thought, ‘Not bad—not bad at all!”
