The ice disc - also known as an ice pan or an ice crepe - was seen on the Genhe River, after which the city is named.

Video of the circular disc measuring a reported 2 metres (6 feet) in diameter shows it appearing to spin on its own in an anticlockwise direction.

The unusual sight has drawn local residents to the banks of the Genhe River, which has a reported average temperature of minus 5.3 degrees Celsius, and which freezes over more than 200 days per year.
