Mr Moist on Instagram: "This is awesome ⛄️ Built over ten days, this giant snowman wasn’t made by piling up snow, but carefully carved from one enormous block. Using more than 3,500 cubic meters of snow, the creators slowly shaped it into a smooth, rounded figure. In Harbin’s winter landscape, it’s less a simple snowman and more a temporary monument — showing how patience and craftsmanship can turn something fleeting into something unforgettable."
