Boats sail on the sea as a mirage takes place
off east China coast in Penglai, on the tip of Shandong Province on May 7, 2006.
Modern high-rise buildings, broad city streets and bustling cars as well as
crowds of people were all clearly visible. Experts explained that 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. [China Foto Press]
