The scene depicts a nighttime urban landscape in Chaoyang District, China. A multi-level elevated highway interchange occupies the foreground and midground, exhibiting severe traffic congestion with numerous vehicles, primarily passenger cars and at least one red double-decker bus, stationary or moving slowly across multiple lanes and ramps. Vehicle headlights and taillights are illuminated. To the left, a tall, glass-clad building under construction dominates, featuring a prominent yellow tower crane on its roof and illuminated interior floors. Adjacent to it, a distinct cylindrical white building with a golden-domed apex is brightly lit. The background includes a cluster of other illuminated modern high-rise buildings, some displaying red and yellow signage. The sky is dark and clear. No individuals are discernible.
