香港旅遊景點介紹---前九廣鐵路鐘樓(Clock Tower)

The old Clock Tower near the Star Ferry concourse in Tsim Sha Tsui is a declared monument and a landmark from the Age of Steam, when it formed part of the Kowloon - Canton Railway terminus.

Erected in 1915, the distinctive 44-metre red brick and granite tower is a graceful reminder of those Colonial times. But over many pre-war years it had far greater significance for innumerable Chinese migrants for whom the former terminus was the conduit to new lives either in Hong Kong or by ship to distant destinations overseas.

Today, the site of the historic railway station is occupied by the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, its curving roof and futuristic features creating an unusual background to the Clock Tower.

尖沙咀天星碼頭側的鐘樓,原是九廣鐵路舊火車總站的一部分,是蒸汽火車年代的標誌,昔日人們可由歐洲大陸搭乘全世界最長途的火車到達香港。


九廣鐵路在1910年通車,尖沙咀火車總站於1916年落成,而鐘樓則於前一年的1915年矗立,但於1921年才正式啟用。在大戰前,無數中國移民搭乘九廣鐵路到達舊火車總站,在香港展開新生活,或再轉乘輪船前往海外。


鐘樓高44米,底層四角以紅磚接連花崗石建造,圓柱底部四周均建有露台及通往外圍金屬圍欄的高門,樓頂更築有一支以修長鋼枝支撐、七米高的避雷針,建築充滿殖民統治時代的色彩。大鐘除了在日據時期曾停止運作外,一直運作至今。


九廣鐵路尖沙咀火車總站於1975年遷往紅磡,舊火車總站大樓拆卸,鐘樓則保留作歷史標記,並於1990年被列為法定古蹟。


舊火車總站大樓的原址現為香港文化中心,文化中心的滑翔式屋頂和未來主義的建築特色,為鐘樓打造一個與別不同的背景。


對香港市民和旅客來說,鐘樓是既突出又熟悉的歷史標誌和地標建築。
