Forget Frosty—Harbin just upped the snowman game! 🎪 A towering 18-meter snow sculpture, built with over 2,000 cubic meters of snow, has become the icy crown jewel of northeast China's winter wonderland. By day, it’s a frosty masterpiece; by night, it transforms into a glowing beacon as surrounding buildings light up the sky like a frozen Times Square. 🌃✨
Harbin, China’s 'Ice City,' is no stranger to chilly fame—its snow festivals and ice castles already draw millions. But this annual snowman tradition perfectly blends whimsy and artistry, proving winter is anything but boring here. ❄️🎨
Psst… mark your calendars for 2025! 🗓️ The city will host the 9th Asian Winter Games, welcoming athletes from across Asia to compete in this frosty paradise. Think adrenaline-packed sports by day, magical light shows by night—all fueled by what locals call 'warm-hearted cold.' ❤️🔥
