I stood for half an hour next to the ancient steam clock in Gas Town. It is the birthplace of Vancouver. It is the oldest city and historical heritage in Vancouver. It is also a place where tourists must check in in Vancouver. Red brick and cobblestone streets, retro gas street lights, Victorian architecture and decoration make this vintage-style town unique in the bustling city. The town is small, but there are many small shops, shops, restaurants, bars and cafes, so that visitors to this place always have a place to stay (take out their wallets). Steam clock Steam Clock steam clock is the most famous landmark of gas town ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ also Vancouver's "Town Treasure" This is the world's first steam clock, and the only one that has survived in the world, more than 100 years of history. Up to 2⃣️ meters, weighing 2⃣️ tons, by underground steam pipe connected to steam timed jet operation, steam powered. There are clock surfaces on all sides, and the clock disk is completely transparent, and the operation of the parts can be clearly seen. Call every 15 minutes, and at every hour, the music sounds sweet and the steam is continuously sprayed. I arrived at the steam clock at 11:30, and then I was next to the steam to pat the clock, pat the building, pat the street, pat the pedestrian... until 12 o'clock to witness the big clock report time ✌ Recommended Index: Address: 305 Water St, Vancouver, BC V6B 1B9 Canada Transportation: Skytrain's Canada Line sits at the terminal Waterfront and walks about seven or eight hundred meters to the steam Zhong. ⏰ Opening hours: Practical tips1⃣️ It is best to stay a little farther away from the clock when taking pictures, otherwise you can't take the panoramic view. It is recommended to avoid the crowd early. 2⃣️ From the subway station to the steam clock (the destination of navigation should not only enter "gas town", but enter "steam clock") on the road, if there is a graffiti alley, the quality of individual graffiti is quite high, but the overall feeling is a bit messy, you can take some photos.

    Gastown has many pretty stores and cafes.but there are lots of homeless wandering around this area. Don’t walk around at late night. When you keep following down the Water street, you can see the steam clock and lots of designer’s stores and beautiful brunch cafes.

    When you come to Vancouver, this place is worth a visit. There are also many city attractions around. Take a look at the seaplane ✈️ on the beach. If you can time, you can also take a seaplane to see the whole city of Vancouver with mountains and water. so beautiful.

    Canada 🇨🇦 Vancouver's important ‼️ attractions. Gaston, Gastown, just got off the plane. I can't wait to see if the time difference is not adjusted. I am not disappointed. It's so special! Steam bells ring and jet every 15 minutes, and Westminster bells will ring to play music at the hour. Come to Vancouver. Remember to visit Gastown! More beautiful at night

    Gastown is Vancouver's oldest town, with cobblestone streets everywhere. This is the former slum site, which has been gradually renovated since the 1970s. Most of the old buildings are still there, but now they are mostly souvenir shops, popular restaurants and a growing number of fashion stores. Walking along Water St Street, you can see the landmark of Gastown, a steam clock that hisses and smokes.
