Amazing mirage appears above Chinese river

An amazing mirage appeared on Thursday at dusk at the Tunxi section of the Xin'an River in Huangshan City, east China's Anhui Province, when continuous pouring rain had just stopped.



In the thin mist above the river were spectacular images of mountains, buildings and trees, which seemed to be floating on the river.

The phenomenon began at about 17:00 p.m. local time, attracting a large number of people, who paused to watch the ethereal scene. "It’s really amazing. It looks like a scene in the movie, in a fairyland," a local said.

Similar sights are often seen lately, only they were not as special as this one, local residents say.
