Harbin’s iconic giant snowman is back with a frosty glow-up! 🌟 The 19-meter-tall winter wonder, a crowd favorite since 2019, debuted its upgraded design at Qunli Music Park last month, now standing one meter taller and crafted from over 3,000 cubic meters of snow. Construction livestreams turned into a viral sensation, with netizens worldwide acting as ‘cloud supervisors’ 👀💻 to cheer on the chilly project.
Dressed in a vibrant red hat and scarf, plus new heart-shaped buttons ❤️, the cheerful sculpture has already drawn thousands of visitors this season. ‘It’s like a real-life Frozen character!’ said one tourist, snapping selfies for Instagram. The snowman’s return marks Harbin’s push to blend tradition with modern appeal, solidifying its status as China’s ‘Ice City.’ 🏙️❄️
With temperatures dipping below -20°C, the snowman is expected to stand strong until March, offering a whimsical backdrop for Lunar New Year celebrations. Pro tip: Night visits reveal LED-lit sparkles in its snowy folds! ✨
