Harbin's winter wonderland just got cooler! The 26th China Harbin International Snow Sculpture Competition has kicked off at the Sun Island Snow Expo, turning the city into a dazzling display of icy artistry. 🎨❄️
This year, 29 teams from 12 countries—including China, Russia, Canada, Spain, South Korea, India, and Mongolia—have gathered to carve their imagination into massive blocks of snow. The competition is heating up despite the chilly temperatures! 🌬️🔥
We caught up with Aleksei Sidorov, a seasoned Russian artist who's no stranger to Harbin's frosty festivities. His latest masterpiece, \"Tornado,\" is a swirling spectacle meant to draw attention to global climate issues. \"I wanted to create something that speaks to everyone about the urgency of our changing world,\" Aleksei shared. 🌪️🌍
As chisel meets snow, these artists aren't just crafting sculptures—they're building bridges between cultures and sparking conversations that resonate far beyond the ice. So bundle up, and don't miss this epic fusion of art and advocacy! 🧣🌟
