Alright, this is something my uncle once told me about. When you search for the city of Penglai on google maps you can see that across from it over the bit of water is another city called Changdao. Normally this city would be beyond the horizon, but because of the mist and the effect of the sunlight, the light is refracted in such a way that you can actually see it from Penglai when the weather conditions are right.

This can happen in many places. The one where my uncle showed/taught me about it was in the south of france.

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…:)

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.
