Temple Square
Temple Square is located in the heart of Salt Lake City and is the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It covers about 10 acres and is surrounded by a wall. The square brings together buildings such as the Salt Lake Utah Temple, theTabernacle, the Assembly Hall, and the Seagull Monument, along with meticulously maintained gardens and a visitor center, making it one of the most popular tourist destinations in Utah. The core of the square is the six-spired Salt Lake Utah Temple. This Gothic Revival granite building is the iconic temple of the Church. However, the interior of the temple has historically been open only to Church members, so general visitors mainly admire its majestic exterior from the square. The nearbyTabernacleis known for its oval dome, which resembles a turtle shell, and its excellent acoustics. It is the home of The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. The pipe organ inside, with its tens of thousands of pipes, is famous far and wide and often features live performances open to the public. The Assembly Hall on the south side is a Gothic-style building that often hosts musical performances. Outside the hall stands the Seagull Monument, which commemorates the 1848 event where seagulls ate locusts to save the crops. Volunteer guides from all over the world are often present on the square to introduce visitors to the architecture and the history of the Church. The history of this square is quite storied: in 1847, Brigham Young led followers to the Salt Lake Valley and planned a city in the desert with the temple at its center. To this day, the streets of Salt Lake City are still named based on their distance from the temple. The block on the east side of the square also preserves historical buildings such as the Beehive House, the former residence of Brigham Young.Salt Lake City · 11.5km from Murray
Utah State Capitol
Utah State Capitol stands atop Capitol Hill on the north side of Salt Lake City and is a Neoclassical building. The exterior walls are built with locally sourced Utah granite and are surrounded by Corinthian columns on the front and sides. The dome at the top is covered in Utah-produced copper, which gleams with a unique metallic luster in the sunlight and can be seen from many locations in the city center. During restoration, the entire building was placed on base isolators, making it capable of withstanding strong earthquakes. Inside, you will find marble floors from Georgia underfoot, and the central three-story rotunda is the highlight of the building: the center of the dome features a ceiling painting of seagulls flying through clouds, and the circular frieze depicts scenes from Utah's history, including the moment when the golden spike was driven to complete the first transcontinental railroad. A massive chandelier hangs beneath the dome. The arched murals and niche statues around the rotunda, the historical paintings in the legislative chambers on both sides, and the gold-leaf decorated Golden Room are all worth taking your time to admire. The circular walkway, lawns, and gardens around the building are perfect for a stroll, and the beehive-shaped sculpture echoes Utah's nickname, the "Beehive State." The replica of the Liberty Bell on the grounds is also worth noting. Standing on the edge of Capitol Hill, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the Salt Lake City skyline and the distant Wasatch Mountains.Salt Lake City · 12.3km from Murray

Temple Square is also a very distinctive place in Salt Lake City. Some very interesting design styles can be seen on the square. The entire Temple Square is a huge place worth visiting. There are many local community complexes surrounding the square.

The Utah State Government Building is a majestic landmark in Salt Lake City. It covers a large area and has a large lawn in front. I saw a foreign couple taking wedding photos when I went there.
The interior of the building has marble walls, floors, stairs, and columns. There are intricate paintings on the dome and many sculptures in the corners of the hall... No wonder it is called the most luxurious and spectacular state government in the United States.

I went there in winter. It was so beautiful. It's next to the Natural History Museum. You'd be missing out if you don't go.
