Move over, Frosty! Harbin’s iconic 18-meter snowman has returned, towering over crowds with its frosty charm in northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province. Built with 2,000 cubic meters of snow, this annual marvel transforms into a glittering spectacle at night, surrounded by illuminated buildings that paint the sky like a real-life snow globe. ❄️✨
Known as China’s 'Ice City,' Harbin is no stranger to winter magic. Its world-famous ice sculptures and snow festivals already draw millions of travelers yearly. But the stakes are getting higher: the city will host the 9th Asian Winter Games in 2025, welcoming athletes from across the continent to compete in this frosty wonderland. 🏂⛷️
Local officials say the snowman isn’t just art—it’s a symbol of Harbin’s warm-hearted spirit amid subzero temperatures. With cozy hot springs, steaming street food, and adrenaline-pumping ice sports, this city proves winter is anything but boring. ❤️🔥
