"President Gordon B. Hinckley made a brief, yet eventful, visit to China, arriving Monday evening and departing about noon on Tuesday. It was the first time a president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has visited China's mainland. President Hinckley, accepting an invitation arranged through the church-owned Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii to visit a "sister cultural center" in China, visited Shenzhen in the company of President Thomas S. Monson, first counselor in the First Presidency, Elders Neal A. Maxwell and Joseph B. Wirthlin of the Quorum of the Twelve, and Elder Kwok Yuen Tai of the Seventy, who is president of the Asia Area. … The idea for the cultural attractions at Shenzhen came after some Chinese guests toured the Polynesian Cultural Center. Over the past 10-15 years, various leaders at the center have helped representatives from China formulate and implement plans for the Chinese centers."  1996 May 28 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Namangwari (talk • contribs) 04:24, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
