The city is floating above the lake. Compare these two pics, the bottome one is an usual image. This phenomenon is known as ''mirage''. I think you've encountered another mirage on the road on hot summer days-i.e. highway mirage. If you don't get the picture, you can visit:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirage
You see what a highway mirage looks like. Both a floating-city mirage and a highway mirage are caused by the identical mechanism.
When the air above the lake is cooler than the lake's temperature, we can observe such phenomena. This condition seems to be easily satisfied in this lake. We see the cities floating pretty often.
