About the Image(s)
This is a hotpot restaurant with a classical Chinese style. Wooden columns, carved doors and windows, paired with antique eaves and corner decorations, are typical features of traditional Chinese architecture, commonly found in ancient streets, gardens, or antique buildings. The carvings and lines on building components continue the "exquisite feeling" of Chinese aesthetics and often appear in the design of Ming and Qing dynasty residences and shops. Chinese lanterns: symbolizing reunion and celebration, they are also the core atmosphere carrier of classical night scenes.

Taken with a medium telephoto lens, compressing these elements into one space and consolidating them into one, the clear focus is on the second lantern, which seems not very good. I think it might be better on the first circular lantern on the left. Overall, it feels good   Posted: 12/13/2025 20:57:53
