Harbin just leveled up its winter game with a record-breaking 19-meter snowman that’s breaking the internet! Unveiled this week, the frosty giant – rocking its signature red scarf – signals the official start of northeast China’s coolest tourism season 🧊📸
Over 160 artists and workers spent 11 days crafting this icy icon using 3,500 cubic meters of machine-made snow. "We wanted perfect texture this year," said project lead Zhang Wei. "It’s like building a snow castle that can survive group selfies!"
What began as a viral 2019 passion project by local workers has become China’s ultimate winter flex. This year’s version features:
👓 Hidden LED lights for night-time glow-ups
❄️ Special snow formula resisting -30°C temps
📸 360° photo zones (no bad angles!)
Travel bloggers are already dubbing it "Asia’s chillest influencer" as hotels report 85% bookings through January. Pro tip: Pack your warmest mittens and TikTok dance moves!
