My hometown Zhengzhou is the capital of Henan Province. It is a modern and busy city. With the development of the economy(经济)，it has changed a lot in the past few years.
For one thing，people took tramcars(有轨电车)to go out in the past. But now，many people choose to take the subway. What’s more，taking a taxi becomes very popular. There are some apps on the phone，and some people use them to call taxis. It may be much cheaper.
Besides，the buildings nowadays are different from those in the past. In the past，the tallest building in Zhengzhou was Erqi Memorial Tower(二七纪念塔). It is one of the symbols of Zhengzhou. Now the tallest building in the city is Fu Tower(中原福塔)and you can see tall buildings everywhere in Zhengzhou.
As for the environment，in the 1980s and before，Zhengzhou was full of trees，flowers，and fresh air. But with the development of the economy，people paid little attention to the importance of plants and fresh air. People cut down many plants and the air got worse. Now，people realize the importance of protecting the environment. They take action to grow plants in parks as well as along rivers and mountains. Now the environment is getting better than before.
