Harbin’s 38th Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Art Expo is making waves this winter with its centerpiece: a 23.8-meter-tall snowman that’s become the ultimate symbol of joy and cultural connection. ❄️ Since opening on December 27, 2025, this frosty giant has welcomed over a million visitors, blending artistry with a message of global unity just weeks before the 2026 Lunar New Year celebrations.
As Harbin gears up to co-host events for China’s 2026 Spring Festival Gala, the expo’s magical ice installations are drawing Instagram-worthy crowds. The Sun Island Snowman – roughly the height of an eight-story building – is more than just a photo op; organizers say it represents a 'bridge of warmth' during the coldest season. 🌏✨
Travel influencers and culture enthusiasts are flocking to the expo, which runs through March 2026. Pro tip: Night visits reveal LED-lit sculptures that turn the park into a frozen neon dreamscape. 🎆 Perfect for anyone chasing winter adventures or wanting to experience Chinese New Year prep in overdrive!
