The Jardine Noonday Gun, Hong Kong.
怡和午炮
Although British rule ended in Hong Kong in 1997, the tradition of the noonday gun is continued by Jardines. A small crowd usually gathers for this daily event. Other than noon, the gun is also fired by a Jardines official at midnight every New Year's Day to celebrate the new year. At the daily firing event, a Jardines' guard marches up to the site in uniform. The guard rings a bell to signal the end of the fore-noon watch, a practice which dates from the time when Jardines' main offices and warehouses were located at East Point. Then, the guard marches up to the Noonday Gun and fires it, after which he rings the bell again, locks the chain blocking access to the gun and goes off. It is accessed from a tunnel passing under Gloucester Road from the basement car park in The Excelsior hotel, which is operated by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, a Jardines subsidiary.
位於香港銅鑼灣避風塘岸邊的一座炮臺,這座屬於怡和洋行所有的一座炮臺,於每天中午12時鳴放禮炮,故名為怡和午炮。
中午12時負責禮炮的怡和洋行職員來到,他上好炮彈之後,在鳴炮前會搖響金鐘,當12時就發動大炮,雖然已作出心裡預備,可是炮聲之大還是使心靈上產生不少的震撼。
