Harbin, China’s ice-and-snow capital, is gearing up to host the 9th Asian Winter Games in February 2025 with a star-studded opening ceremony directed by Sha Xiaolan—the visionary behind Beijing 2022’s Olympic spectacles. ❄️
Sha, who promised a 'simple yet spectacular' show, revealed rehearsals are already underway at the main venue. 'We’re blending Harbin’s iconic landmarks like Ice and Snow World and Music Square into the performance,' he told China Media Group. 🌆 The theme? ‘Dream of Winter, Love among Asia’—a nod to unity and icy artistry.
This year’s games are breaking records: 1,275 athletes from 34 countries and regions, including debutants Cambodia and Saudi Arabia, will compete. Talk about a frosty global meetup! 🏒⛷️
Psst… If you loved the Beijing 2022 ceremonies, Sha’s team is back to deliver another cultural masterpiece. Mark your calendars for February 7—this is one freeze frame you won’t want to miss. 📅🔥
