Mid-Autumn Festival: Night Photography at Taikooli, Chengdu

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a time of celebration, reflection, and unity with loved ones. It’s a time when the bright, full moon graces the night sky, and the city comes alive with the warm glow of lanterns. At Taikooli, a luxury commercial area in downtown Chengdu, the atmosphere was electric, with people of all ages and backgrounds coming together to mark the occasion.

Using long exposures of up to 1 second, I tried to capture the flow of people through the Taikooli district.
