Pudong Development Exhibition Hall
On a typical weekend afternoon, I walked by Pudong Avenue when a sudden rain forced me to abandon my original plans. Pulling up the map on my phone, I discovered that the Pudong Development Exhibition Hall was just a short walk away.
Though it's merely a modest two-story building, the exhibition left a profound impression on me—one that I will need weeks to digest fully.
Inside, I found relics from the early days of Pudong's development: desks, chairs, filing cabinets, telephones, and even ordinary water bottles and teacups. These humble items were similar to those I had seen with my own young eyes back in my hometown. Yet today, Pudong has far surpassed my hometown.
That rainy afternoon visit sparked a lingering question in my mind: What is the most crucial factor for a place to thrive?
Is it money? Certainly, funding is vital, but countless examples show that capital can easily be wasted. Is it a grand program or blueprint? Undoubtedly, planning is essential.
But perhaps, through my limited perspective, the true catalyst lies in the collective mindset, unwavering belief, and decisive action.
When I was a child, too young to be excluded from adult conversations, I often overheard complaints from my uncles, who were local officials. (A word of advice: never assume children don't understand; they absorb and remember far more than you realize.) The challenges they complained about were the same ones Pudong faced back then.
Walking through the exhibition hall, you can clearly trace that very spirit of mindset, belief, and action. Had my hometown possessed the same driving force, it would undoubtedly be in a much better state today.
On a personal level, this visit taught me a valuable lesson: whenever the urge to complain arises, pause to learn, make a plan, and take immediate action. Seize the moment. After all, every present moment holds the potential to be the dawn of a historic change.

Walked “by” sounds like you didn’t walk on Pudong Ave., but you passed near it (maybe it ends at a T intersection and you had just walked perpendicular to Pudong Ave., across the top part of the T, so to speak). Is this what you mean, or were you walking “along” Pudong Ave. (walking on it)?

Your original is OK, but jumping around in time—from the past in the previous sentence, to the present in this sentence, and back to the past in the next sentence—feels a bit jarring. By using “it was” and “would leave,” your perspective can remain in the past and you can create a stronger sense of suspense.
