Noonday Gun

Description

Anyone who knows about the Noonday Gun will remember Noel Coward's 1924 song, "Mad Dogs and Englishmen," which tells the world: "In Hong Kong they strike a gong, and fire off a noonday gun, to reprimand each inmate, who's in late." This historic relic, built in 1901, is still fired everyday and is the best-known landmark in Causeway Bay. It is situated in a small garden on Gloucester Road right across from the Excelsior Hotel.

A free show in HK.

You have to walk through the underground car-park of the Excelsior Hotel to get to the Gun... but so does everyone. Get there 20 minutes early or so to get a good position next to the railings at the side... that way, you can poke your lens through the gap in the railing and get a clearer picture. It's as loud as Hell through an amplifier, but well worth the twenty minute wait.
