Strolling Through a Lantern-Lit Chinese New Year Market

Photorealistic street market scene during Chinese New Year, a shopper walking through a sea of red lanterns and gold decorations. Crowded stalls with festive foods, ribbons, and couplets, all bathed in warm amber lantern light. The shopper is seen from behind, wearing a knee-length coat and scarf, hands in pockets, absorbing the vibrant surroundings. Overhead, strings of red lanterns glow; incense smoke curls through the air; distant dragon-dance silhouettes weave through the crowd. Rich textures, bold reds and golds, rain-slick pavement reflecting colors, cinematic lighting, high detail, 8K quality, shallow depth of field.
