Waterfall Clock

　　Introduction       The “Stride of Time,” also known as the Waterfall Clock, is located right opposite the Customs House. It is embedded within a green corridor, standing 3.5 meters tall and stretching 2.7 meters in length. Shaped in a dark green, terraced design, the clock features ten steps, each equipped with water nozzles controlled by computer. The fountain sprays form a water curtain made up of over a thousand jets, which flows down the steps like a waterfall. Colored lights shine through the curtain, displaying the times of major world cities represented by Arabic numerals. The Waterfall Clock complements the Customs House Clock — one positioned high, the other low; one classical in style, the other modern; one mechanically driven, the other computer-controlled. Like “an old-timer and a youngster,” they enhance each other’s presence, constantly reminding people to value time, day and night.    Transportation       Accessible via bus routes 251, 123, 135, 307, 317, 503, 576, 868, and 940.
