Harbin, located in the northeast of the Chinese mainland's Heilongjiang Province, is buzzing with excitement as the two giant inflatable mascots for the 9th Asian Winter Games make their debut. Named \"Binbin\" and \"Nini,\" these charming characters draw inspiration from the birth of two Siberian tiger cubs in Harbin in 2023. Visitors to the Harbin Songhua River Ice and Snow Carnival are greeted warmly by the mascots, who extend the heartfelt invitation, \"Harbin welcomes you.\" This vibrant display not only highlights Harbin's rich cultural heritage but also sets the stage for an unforgettable sporting event in 2025.
