A Gentoo penguin from Harbin Polarland, characterized by the white patch on its head, recently attracted visitors on a tour of Harbin Grand Theatre, in the capital city of Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.

Carrying a small backpack and toddling around the theatre, the bird met another special visitor, a Russian ballet dancer dressed up as a swan.

They danced together in the heavy snow, attracting a group of photographers and tourists in spite of the extreme cold weather.
