The Jardine Noonday Gun is located in Causeway Bay. The noon gun and several small saluting guns were installed by the Jardine Matheson Company. Whenever a senior executive arrives or departs, the company would fire a gun in welcome or farewell, a tradition that has been maintained to this day. Now, a ceremony of firing the gun is held daily at noon.
In addition, the battery also fires a gun at midnight on New Year’s Eve, symbolizing the farewell to the old and the welcome of the new year, known as the ‘Midnight Gunfire’. The site is open all year round, accessible 24 hours a day, with specific business hours subject to the day’s opening status. If you are interested in firing the noon gun, you can make a donation of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars to the Community Chest, and you will be able to fire the gun, experiencing the deafening sound up close.The Jardine Noonday Gun
