From Wikipedia:
Vancouver is a coastal seaport city in western Canada, located in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia. As the most populous city in the province, the 2016 census recorded 631,486 people in the city, up from 603,502 in 2011. The Greater Vancouver area had a population of 2,463,431 in 2016, making it the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada. Vancouver has the highest population density in Canada with over 5,400 people per square kilometre, which makes it the fifth-most densely populated city with over 250,000 residents in North America behind New York City, Guadalajara, San Francisco, and Mexico City according to the 2011 census. Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada according to that census; 52% of its residents have a first language other than English. Roughly 30% of the city's inhabitants are of Chinese heritage. Vancouver is classed as a Beta global city.
Vancouver is consistently named as one of the top five worldwide cities for livability and quality of life, and the Economist Intelligence Unit acknowledged it as the first city ranked among the top-ten of the world's most well-living cities for five consecutive years. Vancouver has hosted many international conferences and events, including the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, UN Habitat I, Expo 86, the World Police and Fire Games in 1989 and 2009; and the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics which were held in Vancouver and Whistler, a resort community 125 km (78 mi) north of the city. In 2014, following thirty years in California, the TED conference made Vancouver its indefinite home. Several matches of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup were played in Vancouver, including the final at BC Place.
The original settlement, named Gastown, grew up on clearcuts on the west edge of the Hastings Mill logging sawmill's property, where a makeshift tavern had been set up on a plank between two stumps and the proprietor, Gassy Jack, persuaded the curious millworkers to build him a tavern, on July 1, 1867. From that first enterprise, other stores and some hotels quickly appeared along the waterfront to the west. Gastown became formally laid out as a registered townsite dubbed Granville, B.I. (B.I standing for Burrard Inlet). As part of the land and political deal whereby the area of the townsite was made the railhead of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), it was renamed Vancouver and incorporated shortly thereafter as a city, in 1886. By 1887, the Canadian Pacific transcontinental railway was extended westward to the city to take advantage of its large natural seaport to the Pacific Ocean, which soon became a vital link in a trade route between the Orient / East Asia, Eastern Canada, and Europe. As of 2014, Port Metro Vancouver is the third-largest port by tonnage in the Americas (recently displacing New York City), 27th in the world, the busiest and largest in Canada, and the most diversified port in North America. While forestry remains its largest industry, Vancouver is well known as an urban centre surrounded by nature, making tourism its second-largest industry.
Major film production studios in Vancouver and nearby Burnaby have turned Greater Vancouver and nearby areas into one of the largest film production centres in North America, earning it the nickname Hollywood North.

The Steamclock - Die Dampfuhr in Vancouver HD1080 - British Columbia - Gastown Steam Clock
Die weltweit erste Dampfuhr steht im historischen Stadtteil Gastown im Zentrum Vancouvers in Kanada.
The world's first steam clock stands in the historic Gastown district in the center of Vancouver in Canada.
Gleich in der Nähe von Chinatown liegt der Stadtteil Gastown, an der Waterfront. Der Name geht auf John „Gassy Jack“ Deighton, einem Unikum, zurück, der hier 1867 zwischen den Sägewerken die erste Kneipe eröffnete. Sein Denkmal steht zwischen den Backsteinbauten. Mittendrin steht auch die beliebte Dampfuhr, besser gesagt, eine mit einer Dampfmaschine angetriebenen Straßenuhr. In ihr fahren Stahlkugeln Paternoster, durch ihr Gewicht beim Herunterlaufen treiben sie das Uhrwerk an. Das kann man durch eine Glasschreibe beobachten.
Das beste sind aber die Pfeifen, 4 an den Ecken, für die Viertelstunden und eine in der Mitte, für die volle Stunde. Das Ganze endet mit einem langen Dampf-Seufzer zum Schluss. Meine Empfehlung: Sich im gegenüberliegenden Straßen-Cafe hinsetzen und das Geschehen abwarten.
In the vicinity of Chinatown is the Gastown district, on the waterfront. The name comes from John Gassy Jack Deighton, a rarity, back in 1867 between the sawmill opened the first pub here. His monument stands between the brick buildings. In the middle stands the popular steam clock, rather, a driven with a steam engine street clock. In their steel balls go Paternoster, by their weight when running down they drive to the movement. This can be observed through a glass Add.
The best are but the pipes 4 at the corners, for the quarter-hour and one in the middle, for the full hour. The whole thing ends with a long steam-sigh at the end. My recommendation: Sitting down in the opposite street cafe and wait for the action.
