A black and gold Chinese lion dance costume stands upright in the center foreground of an urban pedestrian street at night in Shanghai, China. The lion's head features prominent black fur, large reflective eyes, a wide mouth with visible white teeth and a red tongue, a black fur mustache, and red and orange decorative accents, including a red tuft on its forehead. Its body is comprised of gold scale-patterned fabric with black fur and orange trim. Gold-colored foot coverings are visible at the base. The ground is paved with dark-colored tiles or cobblestones, delineated by light-orange and white illuminated lines. In the background, numerous individuals are present; on the left, a man wearing a black shirt and backpack is focused on a mobile phone in his hands, with other pedestrians nearby. On the right, a man with a beard wears a pink shirt, standing near a red, abstract architectural or sculptural element. Behind the crowd, two brick buildings with sloped roofs are visible under artificial lighting. One building displays a prominent white "PRO" sign, while another shows Chinese characters on its wall, including "锦江" (Jǐn Jiāng), indicative of a specific location or brand in Shanghai. The setting appears to be a commercial or entertainment district.
