The center was founded in 1930 by a Scandinavian missionary and today continues to work with inter-religious dialogues and the study of religion. This is Christ Temple, an octagonal structure reminiscent of the two temples leading to the Altar of Heaven in Beijing.

We were treated to lunch at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club with a marvelous view of Victoria Harbour. The half-size Little Mermaid scupture on the left was a gift from Denmark.

Goldfish pond next to the Museum of Tea Wares.
