A high clarity mirage of a modern city appears off the shore of Penglai City in eastern China’s Province Shandong. This event occured on Sunday, and can be explained like this: a mirage is formed when moisture in the air becomes warmer than the temperature of sea water, which refracts rays of sunlight to create reflections of the landscape in the sky. If you like Mirages, there’s a Mirage Toy I reviewed previously.
Mists rising on the shore created an in-depth image of a city, with modern tall buildings, wide city streets including cars as well as crowds of people all clearly visible. The city of Penglai had been soaked by two days of rain before the rare weather phenomenon occurred. In Penglai, on the tip of Shandong Peninsula, many mirages have been recorded throughout the history. Because of that city is also known as a dwelling place of the gods.

That’s mean nobody comments this, and I think it’s cool!!!! I think mirages are a phenomenon. While I’m driving it’s like rivers ahead but once ur there nothing except the road ur on…
bah
dat is crazy!!! dats hot
WHATEVER
photoshopped!!
i dont get it
What’s missing is a comparison picture. This just looks like a city on the shore line in a mist.
it’s called Fata Morgana
and this is an illusion how?
i dont get it
I don’t see the thrill
Ok people you have obviously not researched this subject at all. It is true it really did happen and the funny thing is that the mirage didn’t depict the skyline of Penglai it is a completely different city in the mirage. This brings up many other questions but it is truly a marvel. There was no photo shopping it is a very well documented event with over 300,000 witnesses try to refute that. If anyone has any ideas to how this phenomenon please write back. My personal belief after research is that it is a neighboring city that was being reflected off the damp atomsphere and projected on the fog over the bay. Please if anyone else posts anything at least google it and read you sound like an idiot when you post stuff without prior knowledge.
If that’s really a “Fata Morgana”, I agree with jaze123′2 theory…but I don’t know very well “fog with sun” phonomenons, in my town there is only “fog with clouds”, so I sincerely don’t know…:)
Do you mean… the city is not there??? it is just an illusion??
or I’m lost in the mist?
