An overhead, rear-facing nighttime photograph captures an individual on a riverbank in 江北城街道, Chongqing, China, overlooking a brightly illuminated cityscape. The individual, seen from the waist up, wears a black bowler-style hat, a long-sleeved olive-green top, and dark trousers. Their left hand is raised, holding a dark, flat object displaying the Chinese characters "重庆" (Chóngqìng) in a stylized font. The foreground consists of dark, sparse vegetation and reddish-brown soil. A wide river, likely the Jialing or Yangtze River, occupies the middle ground, reflecting the vivid lights of the city across its surface in streaks of yellow, orange, red, and blue. Several illuminated vessels, possibly tourist boats or barges, are visible on the river. The background presents a dense urban skyline dominated by numerous skyscrapers. On the opposite bank, a complex of multi-tiered buildings designed in traditional Chinese architectural style, extensively lit with warm orange and yellow lights (identifiable as Hongyadong), stands prominently. Behind these traditional structures and further along the river, a multitude of modern high-rise buildings and skyscrapers illuminate the night sky. The most prominent skyscraper, the Chongqing World Financial Center, displays large, vertical illuminated Chinese characters: "重庆行影映巴渝云端大片" (Chóngqìng xíng yǐng yìng bāyú yúnduān dàpiàn) and "住重庆丽恩露营眺望云端" (Zhù Chóngqìng lì'ēn lùyíng tiàowàng yúnduān) on its facades. The overall environment is a vibrant urban night scene.
