This nighttime image captures a multi-tiered street within Jiufen Old Street, New Taipei, Taiwan, illuminated by numerous red lanterns. The scene features traditional wooden buildings with dark tiled roofs, built into a hillside. Hundreds of spherical and cylindrical red lanterns are suspended along building eaves, balconies, and across pathways, emitting an orange-red light. Green foliage on balconies is adorned with white string lights. Large red banners with vertical Chinese characters hang from several structures, one prominently displaying "阿妹茶樓" (A-Mei Teahouse). Multiple individuals populate the descending stone and paved pathways. In the lower foreground, a woman with dark hair and a man in a light jacket are observed walking down a set of stairs. Other figures are visible further up the pathway, moving between establishments or standing near doorways. An upper-story window reveals interior lighting and a brass horn instrument. The dark night sky occupies the upper left, with faint distant lights on the horizon suggesting a view over a body of water or valley. The environment depicts a busy commercial or tourist area.
