Giant Snowman Lights Up Harbin’s Winter Magic!

Harbin’s Frosty Icon Returns in Time for 2025 Asian Winter Games Prep

Move over, Frosty! A towering 18-meter snowman—built with 2,000 cubic meters of snow—has once again claimed its spot as Harbin’s coolest winter attraction. Located in northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, the frosty giant glows under neon-lit skylines, turning nights into a kaleidoscope of winter vibes .

Known as the ‘Ice City,’ Harbin transforms into a snowy playground every year, drawing millions with its jaw-dropping ice sculptures and subzero charm. But the stakes are higher in 2025: The city will host the 9th Asian Winter Games, welcoming athletes from across Asia to compete—and maybe snap selfies with this icy mascot!

‘It’s not just about sports; it’s about celebrating winter culture,’ says a local organizer. From ice hotels to frosty art, Harbin proves that winter is definitely worth the shivers.
