Move over, Frosty—there’s a new snow superstar in town! The 37th Harbin Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Art Expo just unveiled its icy crown jewel: a 20-meter-tall snowman named "Mr. Snowman," crafted from 4,000 cubic meters of snow. That’s taller than a six-story building, folks!
This frosty colossus is the centerpiece of an expo featuring over 260 sculptures made from 150,000 cubic meters of snow—the most in the event’s history. Think dragon-shaped ice slides, glowing snow castles, and intricate cultural designs.
But it’s not just about chilling art: The expo kicks off a winter sports blitz ahead of the 2025 Asian Winter Games in Harbin. Expect snowboarding showdowns, figure skating demos, and DIY snow sculpting competitions.
Pro tip for travelers: February’s the perfect time to explore China’s "Ice City" and its frozen magic. Pack your thermal socks!
