For more than 160 years in Hong Kong, on Causeway Bay, every day, at exactly 12:00, a cannon start fire.
The English company Jardine Matheson, which made a huge fortune in the opium trade, had a lot of things.
Including a warehouse berth on Hong Kong Island in the Causeway Bay area.
There were a lot of pirates at that time and they set up a cannon.
Later, the company decided to solemnly greet the officials and important people arriving in the bay with a cannon salvo.
One general did not like the fact that a private company welcomes officials and issued a law so that since the 1860s, Jardine Matheson fired a cannon every day at 12:00.
And now you can hear it every day and even come to the ceremony.
