Marunouchi (丸の内) is a commercial district of Tokyo located in Chiyoda ( Chiyoda (千代田区, Chiyoda-ku) is a special ward located in central Tokyo, Japan. It is known as Chiyoda City in English) between Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace. The name, meaning "inside the circle", derives from its location within the palace's outer moat. Each year from late autumn until mid-February, the trees along the Marunouchi area's Naka Dori are strewn with fairy lights to give the are an extra special winter feel. In addition to lighting up the naked branches, there are typically temporary illuminated sculptures on the sidewalks. The Illumination reflects the style and the classy atmosphere of the surrounding neighbourhood. There are few gimmicks and the organisers rise above the continuing arms-race in Tokyo Illuminations with an understated display that complements Nakadori's European-style boulevard. The many trees along Nakadori are tastefully lit with eco-friendly LED bulbs

In this 70th Video, ROUNDS TUBE describes about BANGKOK CITY TOUR, THAILAND. Bangkok is the capital and most populous city of Thailand. The city was at the centre of Thailand's political struggles throughout the 20th century, as the country abolished absolute monarchy, adopted constitutional rule, and underwent numerous coups and several uprisings. The city grew rapidly during the 1960s through the 1980s and now exerts a significant impact on Thailand's politics, economy, education, media and modern society.While most of Bangkok's streets are fronted by vernacular shophouses, the largely unrestricted building euphoria of the 1980s has transformed the city into an urban area of skyscrapers and high rises of contrasting and clashing styles. There are 581 skyscrapers over 90 metres (300 feet) tall in the city. Bangkok was ranked as the world's eighth tallest city in 2016. Bangkok's multi-faceted sights, attractions and city life appeal to diverse groups of tourists. R
