Manzhouli borders Mongolia in the west and Russia in the north. It is the largest land port city in China. The special geographical location has created the exotic customs of Manzhouli.
How to play? Because it is a port city and has deep communication with Russia, almost all the scenic spots worth punching in Manzhouli are centered around these two points. Of course, Manzhouli, located in Hulunbeier grassland, also has a very beautiful natural landscape.
Port guomen scenic spot
Ticket price: 60 yuan
Opening hours: 9:00- 17:30( 17:00 closes).
Since it is a port city, the first stop must be to visit the country in the port. Manzhouli Port has set up a national scenic spot, where you can buy tickets to visit. After entering, you can see the opposite Russian gate and the railway leading to Russia.
The gate we see now is the fifth generation gate built in 2008. At present, it is the largest gate of China land port, which is very magnificent. There are two wide rails and a quasi-rail connected with Russia under the national gate, and a large part of China's goods exported to Europe are transported by this railway.
There is a sightseeing hall on the second floor, where you can see the scenery of Russia's post-Baikal city and Russia's national gate bordering Manzhouli.
But to be honest, the ticket price of this scenic spot is a bit high, and there is nothing to visit after entering. If you just want to get a card and take a photo with the country, you don't have to buy a ticket to go in, just take a photo at the gate of the scenic spot.
There are cross-border shopping centers outside the scenic spot. It is not recommended that you go shopping there. The price is very scenic, and everything sold is Russian goods that can be bought in Manzhouli City.
Taowa scenic spot
Ticket price: 48 yuan (OTA platform reservation)
Opening hours: 9:00- 17:30( 17:00 closes).
Walking back from the scenic spot of Guomen Port is the most representative doll scenic spot in Manzhouli. Going to Manzhouli is definitely a must-see attraction. It's a scenic spot, but it's actually a doll-themed paradise.
Taowa Scenic Area combines Russian history and culture, architectural features and folk customs. Standing here is like entering a scenic spot in Russia.
There is a strong Russian style from the inside out, and the architectural style is very Russian. Sending a photo of a circle of friends will make people think they are in Russia.
There is a big doll square, with super dolls of the zodiac, various celebrities and various themes, and the paintings on each doll are unique.
The small trash cans, bathrooms and amusement facilities in the scenic spot are all dolls.
The cost of most amusement facilities is included in the ticket. One-vote play, bumper cars, roller coasters and big pendulums are all available.
The supporting hotel of Taowa Scenic Area is the famous Taowa Hotel, just at the entrance of the scenic area.
The lobby of Taowa Hotel is based on the concept of the golden living room of the famous Russian Winter Palace. The background is copied from the wall of the War Hall in Versailles, France, and the ceiling is the full hand-painted oil painting style of the Russian church. It really looks like Versailles.
This hotel basically has dolls wherever they can appear. Desk lamp, mirror, water cup ... If you can't see the doll in a picture, it's the hotel's dereliction of duty.
It should be the off-season in Manzhouli recently. I think the calendar room can be booked for 300+. You know, this hotel sells for 2000+ at the most expensive time. Those who are interested may be able to experience it in the past.
Yingshan cathedral
Ticket price: free of charge
Opening hours: all day
Eagle Mountain Cathedral is not in the center of Manzhouli, but on the hillside on the outskirts of Manzhouli, where you can see the panoramic view of Manzhouli. Yingshan Cathedral, also known as the wedding palace, belongs to the spire of the twin towers of the Orthodox Bell Tower.
I read some information on the Internet and said that it is the largest single-storey Christian church in Asia. Because there is no official information on the scene, it cannot be verified, but it is indeed a magnificent church. The wedding palace may look ordinary during the day, but at night, when the lights are on, you can feel its charm.
This church is usually closed to the public, so we can only take pictures outside. I recommend you to come in the evening, where you can see Manzhouli in the sunset and the brightly lit wedding palace.
If you bring a drone, looking at the wedding palace from another angle is a different experience, which will definitely make people feel shocked.
Wedding Palace
Manzhouli night scene
The night view of the city in Manzhouli is definitely the best I have ever seen. At night, Manzhouli will become a city of Jin Shanshan.
The whole city is illuminated by unified landscape lights, dazzling, and all kinds of minarets and domes are more prosperous against the backdrop of golden lights. According to the local people, the electricity fee for electricity consumption every night is very expensive, which is paid by the local government.
It is suggested that you can go to Beihu Park in the northwest corner of Manzhouli to see the night scene at night. The buildings are reflected in the water, which is quite Shanghai flavor.
When you visit Beihu Park, you can sit and rest in Manzhouli People's Square, where there is a bell tower, which is also beautiful under the light at night.
Hulun Lake
Ticket price: 40 yuan
Opening hours: 9:00- 17:00.
Manzhouli is a small city, and even the locals joked that it takes only one cigarette, so it is basically reasonable to stay in Manzhouli for two days.
You can rent or charter a car from Manzhouli, and you can reach Hulun Lake, the largest lake in Inner Mongolia, in one hour.
Outside Manzhouli is the prairie, and the scenery along the way is also very good. Fortunately, you can also see camels grazing on the roadside.
Not far from Hulun Lake is Bell Lake, and the name combination of the two lakes is also the origin of Hulun Buir's name. However, lake bell is in the military administrative zone and is not open to the outside world at present.
What to eat? Manzhouli is located in Hulunbeier grassland, Inner Mongolia. Due to the special geographical location, authentic Russian cuisine and authentic scenery can be tasted in Hulunbeier grassland.
Authentic Russian cuisine: Loubry Western Restaurant
Business hours: 9:00-22:00.
Address: Xisandao Street, Suzhong Pedestrian Street 178
You must try Russian food when you come to Manzhouli. Loubry Western Restaurant should be recognized as the most authentic Russian food locally. Every night, there will be beautiful little Russian sisters and handsome little Russian brothers performing song and dance programs in the restaurant.
Loubry cheese bag is a must-see sign, and you can see the baking process of Russian grandmother. The bread is filled with thick cheese, which is super enjoyable to eat.
Queen salad is also a classic dish. This salad translates directly into "salted fish in mink coat". The red and white vegetable heads in the salad are imported from Russia and look good. The ingredients are paved into small square bricks layer by layer, with homemade salted fish inside, which tastes strange.
Russian sausage is a bit strange at first glance. You can taste the smell of sausage, and the meat is very good. One is very heavy. More than four people are recommended.
Those who like to drink can also order imported beer from Russia to accompany their meals. Only when there is wine and meat can they enjoy themselves.
There is another good choice to eat russian cuisine in Manzhouli, called Katyusha Western Restaurant, but when I was sorting out the information, I found that this store is closed at present. You can also try it if it is open when you go.
Authentic Inner Mongolia Cuisine: Nuo Min Tara Milk Tea
Business hours: 6:00-265438+ 0.
Address: Building 5 14, Modern Garden Community, Liudao Street
When you arrive in Inner Mongolia, you should also try this authentic Inner Mongolia cuisine. This shop is a local chain restaurant in Inner Mongolia recommended by local people.
Every table must order Nuo Min Tara milk tea, which is cooked and drunk now, while cooking and drinking. Milk tea is a unique salty taste in Inner Mongolia, which can highlight the fragrance of milk. If you are not used to drinking, you can add sugar to the table.
Buryat steamed stuffed bun is a unique beef and onion stuffing in Inner Mongolia. The beef inside is big and granular, fat and thin. If you eat too much, you will feel a little tired. If there are few people, you can taste it in half a drawer.
Red bean yogurt cake is a bit like yogurt-flavored custard with rich milk flavor. It feels refreshing to dip in blueberry sauce.
People who love mutton must try his hand-grabbed meat. The sheep in Inner Mongolia are tasteless and tender. Cooking in the simplest way is the original flavor.
Russian Bakery: Leba House in Russia
Business hours: 5: 00 -20: 00
Address: Hall 3, Ground Floor, Xing Jun Community, Yidao Street.
Lieba store has been open in Manzhouli for more than ten years. This shop is small, inconspicuous and easy to miss. Leba is the name of Russian bread, so most of the bread sold in the store is Russian bread.
The first pineapple bag is not actually called a pineapple bag here, but it is very similar to the pineapple bag we usually eat. Six dollars is too big, and there are some raisins mixed in it. Don't be too delicious when it comes out of the oven. ,
Other Russian-style big bars will be hard and dry when eaten alone. It is recommended to dip it in jam after buying it.
Leba fermented by hops has a long shelf life and can be preserved for more than one month. Many people buy a lot as gifts when they leave. There are also those that do not contain sucrose, which can be taken back to the elderly at home.
Local dairy products: Piazza Sualeba, Gilami
Business hours: 8: 00 -2 1 p.m.
Address: No.9, Chain Hotel Community, Jinjie Pedestrian Street, Suzhong
In Leba Square, hidden in residential areas, if Russian shop assistants don't speak English, people can't understand it at all. Just speak Chinese.
Tiramisu Lieba is the signature cake in the store, and it is not the same in the dessert shop in peacetime. With the temperament of a fighting race, it is very big and solid.
Although it is called Leba Square, the most popular products in his family are all kinds of dairy products. Fresh milk arrived from the pasture early that morning, which can be said to be the freshest milk I have ever drunk.
I recommend everyone to try his bottled homemade yogurt, which is very strong and not very sour. Milk is very fragrant, which is very suitable for a bottle of pebbles after a meal.
These milk strips are also homemade, and the milk skin with hawthorn is delicious, which can be preserved for a long time and can be bought back as a gift.
Where to go shopping? Where to stroll after eating? There are several big shopping malls in Manzhouli, including the Friendship Shopping Mall in the city center, wanda plaza, which is a little farther away, and a Sino-Soviet pedestrian street. These are comprehensive commercial blocks, where you can buy food and clothes.
If you want to buy fruit snacks and daily necessities, you can go to Qingkelong Supermarket, which is the largest comprehensive supermarket in Manchuria and the favorite place of local people.
If you want to buy some Russian specialties as gifts, it is not recommended to buy them in small shops facing the street. There are fakes. Suggest going to Dashan Soviet food store next to Friendship Shopping Mall. This shop has been in business for a long time, with complete products and guaranteed quality. I compared the prices of other imported supermarkets in Manzhouli.
The price of his home is basically the same as that of Taobao, and he can also find many goods that are not available on Taobao.
Russian candy, chocolate, biscuits and snacks account for half the shelves and can be bought back as gifts.
The quality of honey and caviar produced in Russia is also very good and the price is very affordable. You can buy some to eat at home.
Russian brand hand cream and mask are very cheap, and many people buy them. There are also some international brands of open-shelf cosmetics imported from Russia, such as L 'Oreal, which are also very affordable and much cheaper than domestic counters.
There are also many varieties of happy water vodka for fighting nations, and you can buy a large bottle for twenty or thirty cheaper.
If you buy too much, it is inconvenient to take it. There is a courier at the door, and you can pack it for free and send it home directly. It is super convenient.
Recommended stores:
Friendship Shopping Mall (Wudao Street North Market 8:30-2 1:00)
Wanda plaza (6 Chinatown 9:00-2 1:00)
Qingkelong (8:00-2 1:00, No.9 Suzhong Street)
Dashan Soviet Food Store (No.28 Mishima Street, 7:30-23:30)
Although Manzhouli is not big, it is indeed an exotic town. On days when you can't go abroad, it is a special experience to have a Russian meal and see dolls in Manchuria. If you have enough time, you can drive along the border and see more different scenery, such as grasslands, mountains and birch forests.

Hotel The best hotel in Manzhouli at present is Shangri-La Hotel in Manzhouli. At present, the price of the calendar is 700+, and the location is very good, just next to Beihu Park.
Other high-end hotels recommend Manzhouli Fan Dian and Manzhouli Diplomatic Club, which are located in the core of the city center and are very convenient.
Of course, the most distinctive is the doll hotel in Manzhouli, but this hotel is not in downtown Manzhouli. If you experience it, it is recommended to stay for one night.
Traffic plane: At present, there are few direct flights in Manzhouli, and only direct flights from Beijing, Harbin and Hohhot are supported. There are many direct flights near Hailar, so you can consider flying to Hailar first and then taking a bus to Manzhouli.
Train: At present, the trains to Manzhouli are all slow green cars, so it is not recommended to go by train because there is not enough time.
