This nighttime image captures an outdoor street market scene in the Chongqing High-tech Zone, China. The perspective is looking down a tiled pedestrian walkway illuminated by overhead streetlights and the internal lighting of numerous vendor stalls. The environment is characterized by a paved sidewalk with square tiles in the foreground and midground. To the right of the sidewalk, a narrow, unpaved strip of dirt and debris runs alongside. On the far right, a tree with a partially white-painted trunk is visible, along with multiple spherical concrete bollards marking the edge of the paved area. Beyond the dirt strip, various items are stored, including what appear to be small motorized carts or vehicles, and additional bollards. On the left side of the walkway, a long row of approximately ten or more market stalls are set up. Each stall features a temporary structure, typically a light-colored canopy (white, blue, and yellow tarps are discernible) with internal illumination, casting light onto the walkway and goods. Behind the stalls on the left, a green mesh fence is visible, with dense green foliage from trees rising above it, suggesting a green space or park area adjacent to the market. Several people are present in the scene. In the immediate foreground on the left, the partial figure of an individual wearing a light-colored puffer jacket is visible. Further down the walkway on the left, two individuals stand near a stall: one person in a dark coat and another in a grey jacket holding a yellow object, seemingly engaged with the stall. In the center of the walkway, a person in a dark coat walks away from the camera, holding a smartphone horizontally. Multiple other figures are visible further down the market, near stalls or walking, their details obscured by distance and lighting. The sky is dark, indicating night, with bright, star-like flares from two prominent streetlights located overhead and towards the right side of the frame. Bare tree branches are silhouetted against the dark sky, suggesting deciduous trees, while other trees with visible foliage are present further back. The overall lighting is a mix of bright, artificial sources and deep shadows.
