What to see at Harbin Polarland
Based on the mysterious polar region and using design ideas from an advanced theme park, the park is ready to offer every visitor a wondrous, dreamy and happy round-the-world journey which is told as stories or scenarios. The treasures in Harbin Polar Land are two belugas named Mira and Nicola. Their underwater performance is the only in Asia in the underwater show field which is the biggest in Asia and world renowned. Under the training of two trainers, they show visitors a romantic "Heart of the Ocean" performance by using body language.
Another highlight in the Polar Land is the Penguin Exhibition Area. It is actually an artificially built "Little South Pole", where is home to 17 penguins. Among them there are 15 white-browed penguins and 2 king penguins. These penguins first arrived in Harbin on December 11, 2005 after passing through New Zealand, Japan, and Dalian from Antarctica. It is worth mentioning that one of the king penguins is the first Antarctic king penguin successfully bred in China. The Penguin Exhibition Area simulates the natural living environment of penguins in the Antarctic continent, using superb lighting and artificial ice and snow, creating polar day and night, sunrise and sunset, rare blizzards, and even polar day and night. In addition, the trainers of the Polar Pavilion monitor this area 24 hours a day,to ensure that the temperature of the exhibition area is always maintained at -5 ℃ and the penguin domestication work is flawless.
You will also see the two most performing polar bears in the North Pole Animal's Home, Don Quix and Heide. They play and compete happily every day. With fists and feet, they offer us an unparalleled "Bear King Tournament".
