A Century-Old Noonday Gun Tradition by the Causeway Bay Waterfront

Jardine Noonday Gun sits by the Causeway Bay waterfront on Gloucester Road, a distinctive spot in Wan Chai District. According to 香港自遊樂在18區, a gun is fired at noon daily by an operator as a time signal, a tradition said to span over a century. On the final minute of New Year's Eve, an extra midnight shot is also fired.

You could pair a visit with other Causeway Bay spots. Before heading out, check the latest opening arrangements and times, as the website notes its information is for reference and actual arrangements follow the operator's announcements.

Editor’s noteTo catch the noonday time-signal tradition by the Causeway Bay waterfront, aim for noon; confirm the latest opening arrangements before you go.
