Harbin's winter magic is back! On December 27, 2025, the 38th Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Art Expo kicked off a trial run in Heilongjiang Province, on the Chinese mainland. Covering a jaw-dropping 1.5 million square meters and sculpted from 120,000 cubic meters of snow, this snowy playground is a must-see for anyone craving a cool adventure ❄️.
The expo features everything from massive snow sculpture complexes—think fairy-tale castles and frozen forests—to finely detailed, lifelike works that will make you pause and say wow 🤩. Whether you're a photography buff 📸, an art lover, or just in it for the Insta-worthy moments, there’s something here to spark your imagination.
Visitors can stroll through shimmering ice tunnels, snap pics beside towering ice pillars, and marvel at the skill that turns piles of snow into art you can almost believe is alive. It’s a full-on winter wonderland where creativity and nature blend in brilliant white ❄️✨.
If you're planning a trip, bundle up, grab a hot drink, and explore this frosty festival of art. It’s happening now through winter, so don’t miss the chance to see snow transformed into pure imagination!
