The image depicts a scene on a paved waterfront promenade in Shanghai, China, with the Lujiazui financial district's skyscrapers visible across the Huangpu River in the background. The lighting suggests an overcast day or early evening conditions. In the immediate foreground, two women walk towards the right. The woman on the left wears a light brown trench coat and beige boots; she holds a white smartphone horizontally in her right hand. Her left arm is linked with the right arm of the second woman, who is dressed in a long black coat and black boots. Both women have dark hair styled up. In the midground, a woman in light blue wide-leg jeans, a grey long-sleeved top, and dark shoes walks towards the left, carrying a dark backpack. Adjacent to her is a black, two-compartment recycling bin with visible labels including a recycling symbol and Chinese characters. Multiple other individuals are present across the promenade: some are walking, others stand by a dark railing overlooking the river, and one person in a dark purple top is seated on the ground near the railing. The promenade surface consists of light grey square paver tiles. The background skyline across the water features various modern, multi-story buildings, some with reflective glass facades, under a diffused light. A dark railing runs along the waterfront edge.
