A battalion of snow sculptures is stealing the show in Harbin this winter – and they’re giving China’s ancient Terracotta Warriors a frosty makeover! Hundreds of intricate snowmen, crafted over 10 days at the Songhua River Ice and Snow Carnival Park, now stand like a shimmering ice legion across the frozen river.
Drone footage reveals their secret: when viewed from above, the rows of snow figures with carved ‘armor’ and stoic expressions uncannily echo Xi’an’s legendary clay warriors. One visitor joked, ‘It’s like the Terracotta Army got a winter upgrade!’
The installation blends history with Harbin’s signature winter creativity, drawing selfie-happy crowds and proving that Frozen vibes aren’t just for Disney. Pro tip: Visit at sunset when the sculptures glow pink and gold – pure magic!
