A frosty wave of creativity is sweeping the globe as CGTN launches its snowman-building challenge ahead of the 9th Asian Winter Games in Harbin. The initiative invites winter enthusiasts worldwide to craft their most imaginative snow figures and share them online, blending cultural exchange with icy artistry.
On February 11, Harbin's Sun Island became a hub of international collaboration as participants from various countries joined media representatives and winter sports stars for a live snow-sculpting showdown. The event emphasizes grassroots engagement with winter sports while celebrating Harbin's status as host city for the upcoming Games.
‘This isn\'t just about building snowmen—it\'s about building connections,’ said one Beijing-based participant. ‘Through something as simple as snow, we\'re seeing how climate and culture intersect in different regions.’
To join the digital movement, creators can share their frosty artworks on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Weibo using #snowman and tagging @CGTN. The challenge runs parallel to final preparations for the Asian Winter Games, showcasing China\'s northeastern ‘ice city’ as both a sports destination and cultural innovator.
