Jardine Noonday Gun

Yihe Wugong attracts many tourists. It is located on the shore of the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter. From the underground parking lot next to the Yidong Hotel, walk down the stairs and walk down the pedestrian tunnel. This is a fort belonging to Yihe Foreign Bank, usually firing salutes at 12 noon every day, which is quite a distinctive attraction.

I remember Hong Kong's century-old vicissitudes and vicissitudes. I don't know if I noticed the "Yihe Wugong" sounded at Causeway Bay at 12 noon every day. The custom of Yihe lunch cannon has been long-standing, dating back to the early days of Hong Kong's opening, lunch cannon as a tradition has been preserved in Hong Kong, and it has a history of more than 100 years. The gold nameplate description behind the noon gun records the origin of the Yihe noon gun such a legend: when Yihe foreign bank had special artillery and patrols on the shore of the East Point, when Yihe large class entered and exited the Hong Kong port, it was customary to fire salutes from the East Point to show respect. One day, Yihe fired a salute, but annoyed a senior Royal Navy commander. The officer first came to Xiangjiang and had no knowledge of the salute. It is reported that as a small punishment, Yihe foreign bank has since fired a gun at noon for the time. Near noon, the noon gun fence has already surrounded a lot of pedestrians, and soon until 12 o'clock, the gunman who had been guarding the gun in a traditional Western-style dress first shook the copper bell next to the gun, and after 8 bells, it meant the end of the morning work period. Then the gunner steadily walked up the steps and skillfully operated the noon gun. After a sound, the gunner opened the iron gate and asked people around to come in and visit, and contact the afternoon gun at close range. Because the fort is not open on weekdays, everyone has been fondling the afternoon gun with the front, carefully watching, photography. Yihe Yangxing Lunch Gun is a small attraction in Hong Kong, but today Hong Kong has become a special landscape, as one of the relics left by the British occupation of Hong Kong for more than 100 years, it represents the strength of the Shangjia power and its power to this city from that era. The impact of the city. It is not important whether the gun sound exists, the key is whether we should carry out in a more specific and life-oriented way in bailing traditional customs, so as to guide the new generation of interest and reflection on historical traditions, just like the Yihe lunch gun that continues in Hong Kong today.
