New technology makes community life more convenient

Zhang Xueqing, a 32-year-old accountant, has recently been busy redecorating her apartment in Chengdu, while teaching her parents to use the face recognition door control system.

Her residential area in the capital of Sichuan province had some smart devices installed last month, ranging from a gate that recognizes the inhabitants to access control connected with quick-response code via WeChat - the instant messaging application.

"My family and I were surprised when these new technological products were set up at our community, and all can be controlled through one application on my cellphone," Zhang said. "Although I haven't got used to some of the functions, I'm sure they'll make my life more convenient and interesting here."
