The scene depicts an active outdoor food stall in Shapingba District, China, under a white tented canopy illuminated by artificial light, suggesting evening hours. Four individuals, identified as vendors, are positioned behind a stainless steel counter. All vendors wear matching red shirts, caps, and aprons with a distinctive colorful floral pattern. The central vendor, a male wearing glasses and a floral face mask, stands with his hands on his hips, observing the operation. To his left, two female vendors are actively engaged in food preparation: one operates near a deep fryer beside a prominent display of red candied haw skewers (tanghulu), and the other prepares items on a flat surface. A fourth vendor is partially visible on the far right, also involved in food preparation. The primary offerings are numerous skewers of seasoned, grilled meat (kabobs), arranged in neat rows on two large, rectangular stainless steel grills that dominate the foreground of the counter. The front of the counter features an illuminated sign with Chinese characters in white and yellow against a red background. In the background, a large, light-pink banner displays the prominent blue numbers "2026" alongside additional Chinese text. A small packet of tissues rests on the counter surface to the right of the central vendor.
