An electric scooter is parked on a grey paved sidewalk in front of a traditional-style building in Dongcheng District, China. The building features grey brick walls, a traditional grey tiled roof, and a weathered red wooden door with peeling paint and a brass lion-head knocker on the left. A small white plaque with red characters, "39", is affixed above the knocker. To the right of the door, a vertical grey conduit system runs up the wall. Further right, a horizontal window with green and gold decorative metal security bars is set into the brickwork. Strong shadows are cast across the building facade and sidewalk from an unseen source, indicating direct sunlight. The sky above is clear blue. The scooter is white with a pink front fender, a black seat, and a white storage box on the rear rack, and it is resting on a kickstand. No individuals are present in the scene.
