The official name of Sensoji Temple comes from the Golden Dragon Mountain, and it is called "Golden Dragon Mountain Sensoji Temple", and the name "Golden Dragon Dance" comes from the name of this mountain. "Golden Dragon Dance" is a dance that started in 1958 to commemorate the reconstruction of the main hall of Sensoji Temple, Kannon Hall. This dance is based on the story of Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in Sensoji Temple. According to legend, she appeared as a golden dragon that descended from the sky, and overnight she created a thousand pine trees that symbolize a good harvest. 
The 18-meter-long, 88-kilogram shining golden dragon dances gorgeously to the music of the celebration, and this scene is absolutely impressive.

Tokyo Disneyland is the fourth Disneyland I have ever been to. The project here is very suitable for children to play. It can be seen that everyone is really happy and the performance is very beautiful, but you have to make an appointment in advance, sometimes you can&#39;t grab it.

The price in Tokyo Disney Ocean is low, there are many playable projects, the children are very happy, and they are very friendly to the children. Basically, 4-year-old children can play 80% of the projects. The performance inside is also very beautiful!

Full marks!!! Full marks!!! As a fan, I am very satisfied! Although there are not many entertainment programs, many places are restored very well! The desserts in the restaurant are very, very delicious... I feel that they are better than those in other dessert shops... and they are not expensive! I will come again!

Nice! Although it is mainly an aerial view, according to the instructions on the tower, you can see many landmark buildings (such as Sensoji Temple) from different directions! If you go to see it during the day, it may be easier to recognize the landmark buildings, but you can see more beautiful urban scenery at night. I recommend going to see ～ at night.
