The image captures a section of the Great Wall of China in Yanqing District, China, during either sunrise or sunset. The sky transitions from light blue overhead to a vibrant golden yellow at the horizon on the right, where the low sun is visible, casting long rays through scattered cumulus clouds. The Great Wall, constructed of grey stone and brick, traverses a mountainous landscape, ascending and descending along the ridges. In the foreground, a segment of the Great Wall forms a paved walkway with a low brick parapet on the left. On the walkway's left, a male with dark skin stands near the parapet, wearing a white short-sleeved t-shirt, dark trousers, white over-ear headphones around his neck, and a black shoulder bag. In the immediate lower foreground, a young female with dark hair, wearing a light-colored top, is partially visible, walking down stone steps. Further up these stone steps, a male wearing a dark jacket, a light patterned collared shirt, dark trousers, and glasses walks towards the viewer, holding a translucent plastic bag in his left hand. Directly behind him, another male in a dark jacket descends the steps. Multiple indistinct figures are visible further along the wall's path in the middle ground, appearing as silhouettes against the hazy background. Watchtowers are integrated into the wall structure, one prominently on the right side of the frame and others receding into the distant, hazy mountains on the left. The mountains in the background are layered and partially obscured by atmospheric haze, covered in sparse green vegetation. The low sun illuminates the scene, creating extended shadows across the stone pathway.
