Fantasy City of Ancient Trees and Cliffs

A breathtaking vertical fantasy illustration of a dense, multi-layered Asian city built into and around colossal ancient trees and towering rock cliffs at night. The architecture is a mix of traditional Chinese and Japanese styles, featuring wooden pagodas with curved tiled roofs, intricate balconies, and paper lanterns. The scene is illuminated by hundreds of warm, glowing orange and yellow lanterns hanging from eaves, strung across alleyways on ropes, and shining from within the windows, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. In the background, a massive, sheer cliff face rises up, dotted with more dwellings and connected by winding paths. To the right, a glimpse of a misty valley or river reflects the city lights in cool blue tones. The sky above is a deep twilight blue with faint stars and subtle streaks of light (possibly meteors or magic). Small details include silhouettes of people on balconies, potted plants, and decorative banners. The art style is highly detailed digital painting, reminiscent of Studio Ghibli backgrounds but with sharper architectural focus, vibrant color contrast between warm gold and cool cyan, and a sense of immense vertical scale.
