Building Harbin's giant snowman

The iconic giant snowman at Qunli music park in Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, has become a winter landmark and viral sensation.

Standing 19 meters tall, 14 meters long, and 11 meters wide, the snowman was carved from more than 3,500 cubic meters of snow. Behind its friendly smile lie months of careful planning and nine days of intensive sculpting.

Designed by Li Qiushi, a local ice and snow artist, the giant snowman reflects not only technical skill but also the warmth and romance of Harbin's winter.
