Move over, Frosty! Giant ice sculptures of the 2025 Asian Winter Games mascots—Binbin and Nini—are stealing the spotlight in Harbin’s Laodaowai baroque district. 🧊✨ These frozen icons, towering over visitors, showcase Harbin’s unique charm: Binbin holds a teapot and steamed buns (a nod to cozy local breakfasts), while Nini rocks tanghulu (🍡 *the* must-try street snack) and a liquor jar (because even ice sculptures know how to party!).
\"They’re like winter ambassadors,\" said one tourist, snapping selfies. The designs blend tradition with playful vibes, perfect for Instagram feeds. 📸 With the Games just months away, Harbin is flexing its ice artistry and warm hospitality—proving it’s more than just a winter wonderland. ❄️🇨🇳
Mark your calendars: February 2025 will bring elite athletes from across Asia to compete in snowboarding, skating, and more. Until then? Let these icy celebs remind us: Winter is coming… and it’s gonna be epic. ⛸️🏅
