Daylight Saving
Hong Kong adopted daylight saving measures in 1941. However, in the 1970s, the government found these measures unnecessary as Hong Kong is at a relatively low latitude. The practice was eliminated in 1979.

Famous quotes containing the words daylight and/or saving:
“And not by eastern windows only,
When daylight comes, comes in the light;
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly!
But westward, look, the land is bright!”
—Arthur Hugh Clough (1819–1861)
“Oh that my Pow’r to Saving were confin’d:
Why am I forc’d, like Heav’n, against my mind,
To make Examples of another Kind?
Must I at length the Sword of Justice draw?
Oh curst Effects of necessary Law!
How ill my Fear they by my Mercy scan,
Beware the Fury of a Patient Man.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
