怡和午炮（英語：The Jardine Noonday Gun）位於香港灣仔區銅鑼灣避風塘（http://isletforum.com/forum.php? ... F%E9%A2%A8%E5%A1%98）的岸邊，屬於怡和洋行所有的一座炮臺，並於每天香港時間中午12時鳴放禮炮，故名為怡和午炮，鳴炮前須搖鈴8響，源自東角年代的怡和總寫字樓及倉庫，表示上午工作時段結束。除每日鳴放的午炮外，每年元旦前夕最後一分鐘還要加放炮，名為「子夜鳴炮」迎接元旦、並播出友誼萬歲，以象徵一年的終結。這是香港市民與僑民每年慶祝元旦前夕的倒數地點，亦是1997之後銅鑼灣唯一倒數旺地，也是其中一個香港旅遊景點，與此同時香港的子夜禮炮是由蘇格蘭的愛丁堡城堡傳入的，所以每年新年都會有風笛來演奏友誼萬歲來送走舊歲。現時只須捐贈港幣叄萬叄千元正予香港公益金，便可以獲安排鳴放禮炮，自1989年開始，已經籌得逾500萬港元善款。

The Noonday Gun (Chinese: 午炮) is a former naval artillery piece mounted on a small enclosed site near the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. Owned and operated by Jardine Matheson, the gun is fired every day at noon and has become a tourist attraction.

從世貿中心World Trade Centre（http://isletforum.com/forum.php? ... =%E4%B8%96%E8%B2%BF）有入口，好像有兩個入口。
From World Trade Centre, it seems that there are two entrances.


按指示行就ok。

向午炮，灣仔方向。

"怡和午炮，造福社群" 這8個字已經在牌上消失了。
"The Jardine Noonday Gun, firing for the charity." cannot be found on the metal plate.


每日都會放午炮。
There is noon day gun everyday.  


很多香港人可能在新聞都聽過怡和禮炮，午炮，但很多都不知道原來要經過這條隧道，這是香港其中一個特色，希望以後都可以繼續喔。
Most Hong Kong citizens should know this Noon Day Gun, but they may not know how to arrive at the site. It is needed to walk through a tunnel under Gloucester Road（http://isletforum.com/forum.php? ... B%E6%89%93%E9%81%93）and Victoria Park Road（維園道）from The World Trade Centre.
