日记###
The last weekend I went to Shanghai. In consideration of saving time, I chose to take subway and bought a day ticket. Actually, this trip was not any specific purpose; I just wanted to walk around the city. After I got out of subway station, I walked into those old streets. To be honest, I really like the feeling; you can see the history's footprint. Now, shared "dockless" bikes can be seen everywhere. Feeling a little tired, I scaned the QR code on a bike and ride it for a while. I think that technological advancements really make our lives more convenient.
