The image depicts a crowded waterfront promenade along The Bund in Shanghai, China, looking east across the Huangpu River towards the Lujiazui financial district on an overcast evening. The sky is a uniform grey, with the upper sections of the tallest skyscrapers partially obscured by clouds or fog. In the foreground, a male individual, dressed in a dark grey jacket, blue jeans, and white and grey athletic shoes, walks from left to right across the paved grey promenade, holding a dark object in his right hand. The promenade features a darker grey strip running horizontally across its mid-section. Numerous other people, estimated between 50 and 70 individuals, are scattered across the promenade, engaged in walking, standing, and observing the skyline. Most individuals appear to be of East Asian descent, dressed in casual or semi-casual attire; several children are also present. One child in a light green top holds a red object in the mid-right. The background across the river is dominated by the iconic skyline of Lujiazui. Visible structures include a golden-hued skyscraper (Zizhu Science Park Tower) on the far left, followed by a dark building displaying "CITI" branding, then the distinct trapezoidal opening of the Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC), and the tapering spiral form of the Shanghai Tower, whose summit is enveloped in cloud cover. Multiple other high-rise buildings, residential and commercial, line the distant riverbank to the right. The Huangpu River separates the promenade from these structures. Tall, dark streetlights with illuminated tops are spaced along the promenade, and a small red flag on a pole is visible near the river barrier in the mid-right. Windows in many of the background skyscrapers are illuminated.
