Harbin is gearing up for next year's Asian Winter Games with a spectacular new attraction. On Friday, the city introduced a 20-meter-tall Truant Penguin snow sculpture at the south square of the Harbin Grand Theatre.
The Truant Penguins, beloved \"ambassadors\" of Harbin, are a common sight at the Polarland amusement park. These charming figures, adorned with little backpacks, resemble playful pupils, adding a touch of whimsy to the winter landscape.
Measuring 15 meters in length and 18 meters in width, the latest snow sculpture is already drawing attention as a highlight of China's renowned \"Snow City.\" This impressive installation joins other winter marvels in Harbin, reinforcing the city's reputation as a top destination for seasonal tourism and ice artistry.
The original Truant Penguins made a special appearance to welcome their larger counterpart, symbolizing community and support as Harbin positions itself for the upcoming international event. Visitors and locals alike are excited to experience this new addition as the city continues to showcase its unique blend of culture and creativity.
