## Caption

A #timelapse video shows the iconic giant #snowman rising in #Harbin, northeast China’s famed ice city.⁣
⁣
Built in just 11 days by 64 sculptors and more than 100 construction workers, the snowman was officially completed on December 16.⁣
⁣
Keeping its signature red hat, red scarf and heart-shaped buttons, this year’s version is bigger than ever — standing 19 metres tall and made from a record 3,500 cubic metres of snow, giving it an even rounder, fuller look.
