The image depicts an illuminated pedestrian street or alleyway at night within the Chongqing High-tech Zone, China. An extensive canopy of numerous decorative Chinese lanterns of various shapes and sizes (including round, elongated, tapered, and square forms) hangs overhead, suspended by thin wires and integrated string lights. The lanterns are predominantly yellow, red, pink, and white/light gold, featuring floral patterns and often adorned with red tassels. The street surface is dark asphalt or pavement with white road markings, partially legible as "ONLY" and "BUS." Vertical, gold-wrapped support posts line both sides of the pathway, extending upwards to a structural framework from which the lanterns are suspended. Retail storefronts, illuminated from within, line both sides of the street. Chinese signage is visible, including a prominent yellow sign on the left side displaying "我爱重庆" (I Love Chongqing). Merchandise, such as clothing on racks, is visible inside some stores. In the mid-ground, a couple walks away from the camera in the center of the street; one individual wears a dark coat, and the other a light-colored long garment. Other individuals are sparsely visible further down the street near storefronts. The scene is characterized by artificial lighting emanating from the lanterns and shop interiors against a dark night sky.
