The steam clock is not only the sign of the gas town, but also the place where everyone must punch in Vancouver. It has a history of 150 years, and a very beautiful big clock will ring every fifteen minutes.

    Surprisingly, I was too familiar with the cityscape to pass by, but when I saw it, it was too real and I was impressed. It seems that the steam sounds every 30 minutes with a beautiful construction. If you are lucky, you can hear it, so please go ✨

    [During the lockdown, there are not many people] The steam clock in Vancouver Gas Town is a hundred and fifty years old, and it rings every fifteen minutes. [Finally encountered]! Not easy! !

    There are too many people, let's talk about it. The 2-ton steam clock is the landmark of the town and the historic landmark of Vancouver. As the first steam-driven clock in the world, it has been standing here since 1977 and has been honking every 15 minutes for centuries. Steam clocks are about 2 meters high and have clock faces on all sides. They are completely transparent below the clock disc. The operation of parts and components in the clock can be clearly seen. The old steam clock is now out of date due to its long history, but it seems as if it has returned to the old steam age to give people a sense of time and space interlacing by standing beside the steam clock and watching the white steam coming out, accompanied by the music of the whistle.

    Steam clock is the landmark of Gastown, hissing and white smoke. It's a tourist attraction where travelers scramble to take photos. But it's actually electrically driven. During the tour, someone may come to talk to you about giving you a free commentary, but when the commentary is finished, you will ask for donation. If you don't want to waste your breath, you can politely refuse.

    The Steam Clock is a must-see in Gastown. It runs on steam and plays a tune every 15 minutes. I saw it at night and it was amazing. The steam looked like smoke and the whistles sounded like a train. It was very popular with people taking pictures and videos (I couldn’t stop taking Live Photos). I recommend checking it out at night if you are nearby.

    Vancouver must be punching in! Steam clock Steam Clock, located on the water street of Vancouver Gas Town, is the world's first steam-powered clock, since 1977 it has been erected here, hundreds of years still every 15 minutes of continuous whistle time, Hearing stands as a historic landmark in Vancouver. As a must-visit attraction for Vancouver tourism, tourists come to take pictures and punch in no matter day or night. When I arrived, I just passed six o'clock and missed a round of broadcasts, so I chose to hang around the neighborhood. Wait until seven o'clock! Finally you can hear the bells! Standing by the steam clock, watching the white steam coming out, accompanied by the sound of the whistle, as if returning to the ancient steam era. The bells rang, and diners in nearby restaurants ran out to take pictures. The steam clock is 2 meters high, with clock surfaces on all sides, and the operation of the parts can be clearly seen below the clock disk. It uses steam as a power to drive the transmission mechanism of the clock, and sprays steam every 15 minutes, making it a unique landscape in Vancouver. The lights are on at the beginning, the street lights are on, and the night view is beautiful.
