金鐘， 真自存在金色的銅鐘/
金鐘的英語「Admiralty」是「海軍部」 的意思， 因為19世紀中後期英國海軍在遠東地區的活動而決定興建船塢，當時的金鐘正是英國海軍區。1980年建成的金鐘廊及香港地鐵金鐘站的所在曾經就是船塢。
但到底金鐘為何叫金鐘？/
香港的時間，今日香港人只會聯想到尖沙咀鐘樓，但曾經「金鐘」才是主角。在現時金鐘道（昔日皇后大道東），大概力寶大廈和金鐘廊附近，當時的威靈頓兵房有座建築物名為 - 樂禮樓(Rodney Building)（1966年變成新樂禮大廈），屋頂外牆懸有一個金色銅鐘，每逢中午及下午便會敲打，作為士兵、文職人員和工人的午饍及放工訊號。而人們每逢經過該處，都會對時間， 因此當時的人稱該處為「金鐘兵房」，久而久之成為了今日的「金鐘」。
2021除夕將至，你會如何倒數？
The HK Admiralty’s Golden Bell/
Next to Wanchai, Admiralty was named after the British has built a dock for their navy's activities in the Far East in the mid-late 19th century. Hongkongers at that time call Admiralty as 金鍾, means “golden bell”.
Talking about the “time” of Hong Kong, people always relate to the clock tower in Tsim Sha Tsui. However, in older times, Admiralty was the one on the spot because of a huge golden bronze bell. On the road that is currently named Queensway (formerly East of Queen’s Road), near Lippo Centre and Golden Bell Gallery, there was this Golden Bronze Bell hanging on a building called Rodney Building. It would ring every noon and afternoon to signal soldiers, civilians and workers about the lunchtime and office off time. Therefore, people at that time loved to check the time at Admiralty with this Golden Bell, and, thus, Admiralty has become the "金鐘Golden Bell" that we know today.
