IMHO, one good way to create feeling is to elicit sensory memories in the reader of place(s) they've been or vividly imagined that are like your setting. I say elicit, because there's always the show vs. tell way of conveying those. Don't limit yourself to the visual; consider hot/cold, humid/dry, quiet/noisy (what _kinds_ of noises), smells, tastes, tactile if it works in your narration. In SF and Fantasy, the author [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack\_Vance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Vance)Jack Vance was a past master of this; suggest you take a look at some of his writing if you can. Wonderfully vivid!
