A tricycle with a luggage carrier was parked

The city of Shanghai was just being reconstructed. The modern area and the traditional area was mixed. And I preferred to walk the latter. A worn tricycle with a cart was parked in the alleyway.

A big lock as a protection against theft was attached to the front tire. Many poles to hung laundries were stuck out from the old wall. These elements were typical examples of the old-fashioned district. On the other hand, a modern multi-story apartment house rose at the end of the alleyway. The area where the apartment stood seemed to be reconstructed already.
