This is an amazing mirage of a ghost city that was seen from the City of Huanshan, China. After a heavy rain, trees, mountains, buildings and an entire city suddenly appeared above the Xin'an River. I’d love to witness something like that.

A unique optical phenomenon was seen above the sea level in the north of Haikou City at 4 p.m. on May 9. Local residents were amazed by a mirage of a ghost city that hung between the sky and sea. The miracle lasted for an hour. It appeared due to the extremely high temperature on Hainan Island that is not common for this season of the year.

Thousands of tourists saw a mirage of very high clarity which lasted four hours off the shore of Penglai city in China.
The mist rose on the shore and created an image of a modern city with high rise buildings, wide city streets, fast moving cars, and crowds of people all over the place.
The detail was very 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.
