The countdown to the 9th Asian Winter Games Harbin 2025 has begun, with the event set to take place from February 7 to 14, 2025, in Harbin, the capital of northeast China\u2019s Heilongjiang Province. In anticipation of this grand sporting event, a global snowman-building campaign has been launched, inviting people from around the world to share in the excitement and spirit of the games.
The campaign, titled “Building a Big Snowman for Harbin 2025“, is a collaborative initiative by CGTN, the Heilongjiang Bureau of China Media Group, and the 9th Asian Winter Games Harbin 2025 Organizing Committee. It encourages individuals to build snowmen using materials and ideas available to them, symbolizing unity and enthusiasm for winter sports.
Participants are sharing their creative snowmen through photos and videos, showcasing not only their craftsmanship but also the diverse ways in which winter is celebrated globally. From traditional snow sculptures to innovative interpretations using non-traditional materials, the campaign highlights the universal appeal of the season and the forthcoming games.
Harbin, known for its rich winter culture and the famous Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival, provides an ideal backdrop for the Asian Winter Games. The city\u2019s traditions and natural landscapes offer a unique experience for athletes and visitors alike, blending sports with cultural festivities.
The global snowman initiative serves as a unifying platform, bringing together communities across continents in a collective show of support for the athletes and the host city. It exemplifies how cultural exchanges can foster mutual understanding and enthusiasm ahead of significant international events.
As the world prepares for Harbin 2025, the snowman campaign continues to gain momentum, reflecting the shared excitement and anticipation for the games. It stands as a testament to the power of simple gestures in connecting people and celebrating global events.
