Noon Day Gun

The traditions of the Noon Day Gun dictates that the Jardines will fire the canon at Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter everyday at noon. Three years back when I first visited HK, I booked a cruise for over 200 HKD called the noon day gun firing cruise. After bringing us around the harbour for more than an hour, it came to an end as we saw the canon far out at sea, a tiny minute spot and "boom" and all we saw was smoke.

Determined to see what the whole noon day gun firing is really about, I made my way back to the site. This time on foot, through Excelsior hotel and boy...it was still smoke..haha...it was so fast, I can't even captured the firing in a photo..and it was loud...they should've gave prior warning...
