As night falls, the lights on the streets of Tokyo begin to light up.
Compared to the prosperous Xiangjiang, Tokyo seems to be more prosperous because it is large enough and has a larger population.
Today, the population of Xiangjiang has not exceeded five million.
The population of Tokyo has exceeded 11 million as early as more than ten years ago.
As the capital of a populous country, Tokyo’s population attractiveness is much stronger than that of Xiangjiang.
Of course, in terms of details, Hong Kong is much better than Tokyo, especially Central, where skyscrapers are concentrated, which is not comparable to today's Tokyo.
Hong Kong is small but refined, while Tokyo is large and powerful.
At this time, Su Cheng brought Gillian and Ami to the famous Tokyo Tower.
This world-famous building built in 1958, with a height of 332.6 meters, is the tallest self-standing iron tower in the world, 8.6 meters higher than the famous Eiffel Tower.
In the future, it will be surpassed by the Tokyo Skytree, and even the Yangcheng Tower in Yangcheng will be much higher, but at least in this era, it is the tallest self-standing tower in the world.
It is precisely because of this that today, 21 years after its completion, Tokyo Tower has already become a world-famous building, a landmark building in Tokyo, and a beautiful city card of Tokyo.
On the recommendation of the driver, Su Cheng took everyone to the last stop of the day.
Standing at the bottom of the tower, the Tokyo Tower with the lights turned on is very spectacular. However, in my previous life in Sioux City, I had been to the Yangcheng Tower, so I was not impressed by the Tokyo Tower.
The Yangcheng Tower is 600 meters high, which is 267.4 meters higher than the 332.6-meter-tall Tokyo Tower in front of you. In terms of appearance, it is many times taller than the Tokyo Tower.
At this time, many tourists gathered under Tokyo Tower. They all wanted to climb the tower at night and enjoy the night view of Tokyo.
With the staff arrangement of the Japanese government, Tokyo Tower has opened a VIP channel for Sioux City. There is no need to worry about buying tickets, queuing and other troubles, and you can directly take the dedicated elevator in the tower.
At the height of 223.55 meters in Tokyo Tower, there is a special observation deck.
The observatory is surrounded by large floor-to-ceiling glass windows that tilt outward.
Standing on the observatory, you can overlook the entire city of Tokyo.
It is worth mentioning that it is difficult for ordinary tourists to go up to the special observation deck above 223.55 meters, where the number of people is restricted based on ticket numbers.
Only the 120-meter-high large observation deck can be easily accessed by ordinary tourists.
Perhaps because I received the arrangements from the Japanese government in advance, when Su Cheng went up to the special observation deck at a height of 223.55 meters, I was surprised to find that there were not a single tourist inside, and there were only a few workers. The staff is there.
This is the privilege.
It’s actually pretty cool to be able to enjoy such privileges in a foreign country.
The area of this special observatory is not large, many times smaller than the large observatory below.
Because of this, this place is destined to not be able to be opened directly like the Grand Observation Deck. There are really too few people that can be accommodated.
“Tokyo Tower is a landmark building and tourist attraction in Tokyo. It was built based on the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Its official name is the Japanese Radio Tower. It weighs 4,000 tons and will be the tallest in the world after completion. The self-standing iron tower was started on June 29, 1957, completed on October 14, 1958, and officially opened on December 7.
The color of Tokyo Tower is red and white because of air traffic control regulations. The illumination time of Tokyo Tower is from sunset to midnight, and the color of the light changes with the seasons. It is white in summer and orange in spring, autumn and winter. In addition to its sightseeing function, Tokyo Tower is mainly used for transmitting TV, radio, etc. In addition to various broadcast signals, it also sends JR train stop signals when major earthquakes occur. It also has functions such as navigation beacons, wind direction and speed measurement, and temperature measurement.
This was originally built as a workbench. It was used as a warehouse for more than 10 years after its opening. It was only opened to the public in July 1967. When the weather is good, you can see Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba and other prefectures from the special observation deck, and you can also see Mount Fuji. .

While Su Cheng and others were admiring the night view of Tokyo, a female Tokyo Tower staff member on the side also introduced the tower to them, and Su Cheng was surprised to find that, This staff member actually explained Su Cheng in Chinese.
“Why do you speak Chinese so well? And it also has some Wanwan accent? "Su Cheng asked curiously about this pretty Japanese girl.
Could this be from Wanwan, not Japanese?
"We usually receive important foreign guests here. There are many tourists, so the commentators here must be able to speak multiple languages. For example, in addition to English, I can also speak Chinese and Korean. I actually returned from studying in Wanwan three years ago. I stayed in Wanwan for four years, so I can speak Chinese. Because of this, I applied for a job at Tokyo Tower and became a commentator here. We often receive guests from Singapore, Wanwan, Xiangjiang, etc. There are tourists from the local business and political circles, so not only can I speak Chinese here, but there is also another colleague who can also speak Chinese. "The Japanese girl replied.
Su Cheng suddenly realized that she was a Japanese girl who had studied in Wanwan. No wonder she had a strong Wanwan accent when she spoke Chinese.
Wanwan is also developing rapidly today.
So, it is not surprising that Japanese people go to Wanwan to study abroad.
And, just like this Japanese girl, she applied for this job precisely because she knew Chinese.
The night scene in Tokyo is much inferior to that of Xiangjiang, perhaps because the lights are not concentrated enough.
However, you can also see from the lights how big the city of Tokyo is. The scattered lights make it seem as if the entire city of Tokyo is infinitely large. This is the benefit of having a large space for development.
Because Xiangjiang has little flat land and many mountains, it is destined to easily encounter bottlenecks in development. This is why Xiangjiang has always had a tradition of land reclamation.
There is no way, there is no room for development, we can only continue to expand the development space into the sea.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when we came down from Tokyo Tower.
Taking a special car, the group went directly back to the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.
One day has passed like this.
Before going to Tokyo Tower, Sioux City and the others went to a very famous local Japanese restaurant and ate some of the more famous local dishes.
So after returning to the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, they did not need to have dinner again.
Back in the presidential suite, Su Cheng watched TV in the lobby, planning to let Gillian Amei give him a massage before washing up and going to bed.
When he was in Xiangjiang, Su Cheng often enjoyed this kind of massage at home, usually mainly focusing on shoulder massage and leg beating.
After taking a bath, enjoy a full body massage.
Gillian and Ami sometimes became his full-time masseurs.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Su Cheng, who was being comfortably pressed, was disturbed by a phone ringing. (End of this chapter)
