A boat sails 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. [Xinhua]
