An essay about "Changes in Hometown", about 500 words

My hometown is @@. In the past, the economy here was underdeveloped and people’s living standards were not high. They lived in low-rise huts and bungalows with few buildings. The streets were bumpy. There used to be very few means of transportation. Tricycles, vans, and constant traffic jams. People's quality is not high either. They spit everywhere, litter, and discharge sewage, which seriously pollutes the river...

However, today, due to the party's reform and opening up policy that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, today's hometown Yongding has undergone earth-shaking changes: look! The wide roads extend in all directions; skyscrapers can be seen everywhere; various supermarkets and shops are dotted; majestic overpasses fly north and south; clean streets and colorful ceramic tiles make people feel comfortable walking and chatting ; In the green green belt, the fragrance of various flowers exudes, which is refreshing and makes people forget to leave. During holidays, people go to parks and outdoor outings in small groups to fully enjoy their leisure time. The newly opened Suguo Supermarket and Commercial and Cultural Plaza are crowded with people every day. People visit stores and shop in large quantities; restaurants of all sizes , each with its own flavor, attracting visitors from all over the world. Yongding, an ancient and beautiful city, is developing towards a metropolis...

The most unforgettable thing is the night view of Yongding. Look, the colorful Neon lights illuminate the streets and alleys brightly; rows of street lights illuminate the highway like daylight, making it look like fire dragons from a distance, making it very safe for drivers to drive; and there are lasers of various colors. The lights sweep back and forth in the night sky, turning Yongding into a "city that never sleeps."

Ah! I love my hometown——@@!
