Harbin’s frosty mascot just leveled up! The Chinese mainland’s beloved 19-meter snow sculpture – now rocking a fresh heart-shaped button and vibrant red accessories – has become THE must-see winter attraction in Northeast China. ❄️
First appearing in 2019, this icy icon got a 1-meter growth spurt this year using over 3,000 cubic meters of snow. Construction crews worked under the watchful eyes of both ‘cloud supervisors’ (live-stream viewers) and excited visitors snapping selfies. 📸
The upgraded snowman at Qunli Music Park isn’t just big – it’s a mood. With its cheerful smile and festive scarf, it’s already starring in thousands of social media posts as 2025’s ultimate winter backdrop. Local tourism officials say it symbolizes Harbin’s ‘chill-to-thrill’ approach to seasonal tourism. ⛄️
