Night-lit Chinese Temple Gate with Red Lanterns

An exquisitely illuminated traditional Chinese temple entrance at night. A grand vermilion gate with ornate wooden beams, upturned eaves, and gilded accents, flanked by stone steps. Red lanterns hang from the eaves, casting a warm amber glow that reflects on lacquered doors and wet stone, while the indigo night sky and curling incense smoke create a tranquil, mystical atmosphere. The scene is photorealistic and hyper-detailed: 8k resolution, volumetric lighting, cinematic composition with a symmetrical centered gate; shallow depth of field with the courtyard softly blurred in the background. Rich textures of wood grain, carved dragons, gold calligraphy on couplets, and dragon motifs on the beams; subtle mist and bokeh from lanterns enhance the mood. Mood: serene reverence and festive charm.
