Move over, Frosty—Harbin just leveled up the snowman game! 🎪 A jaw-dropping 18-meter-tall snow sculpture, built with 2,000 cubic meters of snow, has once again taken center stage in northeast China’s ice kingdom. By day, it’s a frosty marvel; by night, it transforms into a glowing beacon as surrounding illuminations paint the sky like a frozen aurora. 🌌
This icy giant isn’t just a seasonal flex—it’s become Harbin’s annual love letter to winter. The city, already famous for its next-level ice festivals, draws millions of visitors each year who brave the chill for Instagram-worthy ice castles and snow art that would make Elsa jealous. ❄️👑
Pro tip for travelers: Pack your thermal socks and join the hype! Harbin’s winter magic runs through February, blending subzero temps with fiery hotpot feasts and enough LED-lit sculptures to rival a Marvel movie set. 🥘💡
