On the route to Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah, we stop by at Provo recommended by Pe Arm. Brigham Young University main campus is located here. The town seems to be one of the good living places.

We walk in the downtown to visit Temple Square.
Salt Lake City is well-known for Mormon pioneer history
Temple: This building is a worldwide icon of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the heart of Temple Square. The massive granite edifice was constructed in a neo-gothic style over the course of an astounding 40-year period between 1853 and 1893. However, only members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are permitted to enter the temple.
.”………… Four days after entering the Salt Lake Valley on 24 July 1847, Brigham Young designated where the temple would be built, and on 6 April 1853, he laid the cornerstone of the temple foundation. That event marked the beginning of a long construction process……..”
Note: Brigham Yong was the leadership of the Mormon pioneers traveled from Illinois to Utah and established a rich society and culture in Utah.
On the southwest corner of Temple Square is the Assembly Hall, a charming Gothic-style building with lovely stained-glass windows. This jewel of a building was constructed by Latter-day Saint pioneers in 1877.
