Harbin, the icy heart of northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, has unveiled its towering winter mascot: a playful 18-meter-tall snowman built with over 2,000 cubic meters of snow! 🌨️ This frosty giant, a beloved annual tradition, dazzles visitors with its sheer size and whimsical charm as colored lights from nearby buildings paint the night sky. 💡
Known as China’s ‘Ice City,’ Harbin transforms into a winter wonderland each year, drawing crowds with its jaw-dropping ice sculptures and heavy snowfall. ❄️ The city’s Ice and Snow Festival—often compared to a real-life Frozen kingdom—is a bucket-list destination for travelers seeking magical winter vibes and Instagram-worthy backdrops. 📸
Locals say the snowman symbolizes Harbin’s creative spirit and resilience in sub-zero temperatures. 🧤 Ready to join the frosty fun? Pack your warmest coat and bring your sense of adventure! 🎿
