The 37th Harbin Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Art Expo is turning heads worldwide, with over 260 jaw-dropping snow creations transforming the Chinese mainland’s northeastern city into a winter wonderland. From mythical heroes like the Monkey King to iconic landmarks like the Great Wall, the expo blends art, culture, and icy magic – all while hyping up the 9th Asian Winter Games mascots, Binbin and Nini .
One guide told CGTN’s Mi Sutong, \"Every sculpture tells a story – it’s like walking through a frozen fairytale!\" Foreign visitors echoed the excitement, with a traveler from Spain calling it \"unreal… like stepping into a Marvel movie but cooler!\"
Pro tip for globetrotters: The expo isn’t just eye candy. It’s a crash course in how art and winter sports collide. With the Asian Winter Games on the horizon, Harbin’s proving that snow isn’t just for skiing – it’s the ultimate canvas.
