Yesterday, on December 31, 2025, Harbin Ice and Snow World in China’s chilly northeast turned into a real-life snow globe, welcoming 2026 with frosty flair! 🌨️🎉
Despite the –20°C bite, crowds of visitors braved the cold to wander through neon-lit ice castles, towering snow sculptures, and intricate ice slides. Phones and cameras clicked non-stop to capture every glistening detail. 📸❄️
The park’s glow-from-within ice architecture created a magical vibe—think glowing tunnels, ice dragons, and frosty pavilions. It felt like stepping into a high-tech fairy tale, mixing art, light, and winter wonder. ✨🏰
For those of us in South and Southeast Asia dreaming of snow, this spectacle shows how creativity can turn extreme weather into an unforgettable experience. Who knew subzero temps could feel so warm and festive? 🔥🥶
