Move over, Frosty! Harbin, China’s icy playground, has unveiled its annual mega-snowman towering at 18 meters (that’s taller than a six-story building! 🏙️). Built with 2,000 cubic meters of snow, this chilly giant has become a must-see symbol of winter joy. By night, dazzling lights transform the snowman and surrounding ice sculptures into a neon wonderland, drawing crowds eager to snap selfies and sip hot cocoa. 🍫
Dubbed the 'Ice City,' Harbin is no stranger to cold-weather magic. Its world-famous ice festivals and frosty art have turned it into a hotspot for travelers and influencers alike. ❄️📸 And the excitement isn’t slowing down: In 2025, the city will host the 9th Asian Winter Games, welcoming athletes from across the continent to compete—and maybe even sneak a snowman selfie between events. 🏅⛷️
With its mix of winter whimsy and global ambition, Harbin proves that even subzero temperatures can’t cool its warm hospitality. ❤️🔥
