As night fell, the candlelight within the lanterns, filtered through the paper, emanated a soft, pale yellow glow, making the entire street nearly as bright as day.
Some tourists and residents, having finished their dinners, came out to stroll along the street.
Stalls were set up by the roadside.
There were vendors selling sugar, clay figurines, masks... The stall owners called out to passersby, attracting many to stop and watch.
On the other side of the street stood a two-story pavilion.
This was Celestial Grain Tower, a renowned tavern in Jiannan Prefecture City Center.
Celestial Grain Tower was luxuriously decorated, with renowned chefs and lovely wine-serving girls, attracting many officials and nobles to dine and revel here.
Ou Tianci was enjoying food and drink here with four wealthy young men from Jiannan Prefecture City.
On the table where they sat were several jade wine bottles filled with fine wine brewed by the Li Family of Jiannan City.
