The picture shows a mirage in Penglai City taken in 2006
Since ancient times, the mirage of Penglai has generally appeared in the windy and sunny daytime, and the appearance of sea wonders at night has not been recorded in the classics here, but at 7:20 p.m. on July 5, 2001, nearly 10,000 people actually saw this spectacle at night. At that time, the clouds above the Surface of the Penglai Sea were unpredictable, like huge flowers blooming in the air, and like a large ship that set sail, slowly drifting from the depths of the sea. At this time, a "heavenly curtain" appeared above Penglai Pavilion. From this boundless "picture", it looks like a bird's eye view of a coastal city, hanging above Penglai Pavilion, with the front like a microwave of clear water, and the back like a city surrounded by clear water. The central part of the "picture" is like a series of urban buildings, the wide urban road is still faintly visible, sometimes there are "celestial horses" walking around, the left side of the "picture" is like a quiet harbor, boats dotted among them, the right side of the "picture" is like a lush tropical forest stretching for thousands of miles, and like a mountain village scattered in the sky. The picture is unpredictable, like a fairy like a dream, really like the legendary "Immortal Mountain Qiongge". This wonder did not begin to fade until after 8:10 o'clock, and finally drifted away in the sea breeze. Why mirages appear at night has yet to be explained by experts.
