Manzhouli, an exotic city

I am a person who likes to travel. I often hang out in major website forums just to find travel guides for travel destinations, so I thought of writing a guide as a local, and also for the whole country. Friends from all over the world who like to travel like me provide convenience and make everyone fall in love with my hometown - the small border town of Manzhouli.

Manzhouli is the largest land port in China. The architecture, food, and living customs here are full of strong Russian customs. As a Manzhouli who was born and raised here, everything from food, housing, and transportation , I will give you some suggestions on several aspects of playing.

As the saying goes: "Food is the first priority for the people." For meat lovers, Manzhouli is undoubtedly a paradise. You must try the mutton here when you come to Manzhouli. Because it is located in the Hulunbuir Prairie, the unique geographical conditions make the beef and mutton here famous throughout the country. The sheep on the Hulunbuir grassland graze against the wind and only eat the tips of the grass. The mutton is tender and juicy and has no smell. There are basically three ways to eat mutton: hot-boiled mutton, hand-grilled mutton, and roasted mutton leg.

The summer in Manzhouli is very short, so every year from June to September is the golden season for tourism here. At this time, the prices of hotels, hotels and family hotels will increase significantly, and there will even be a price increase. Housing is hard to find. If you are traveling with a group, you don’t have to worry about where to stay. If you are traveling independently, by car, or as a family, you still need to book in advance. If you are not short of money, then Shangri-La is the first choice. Needless to say, there are chains everywhere, the environment and service are first-class, and the price per person is also first-class. Next are star hotels such as Manzhouli Hotel and Friendship Hotel, with prices ranging from 450 to 1,000. There are also budget hotel chains like Ibis with prices above 300. There are also many small hotels and family hotels. I don’t know much about them and I dare not say anything about them. However, a few days ago, my best friend from college came to visit. She contacted a hotel online. I went there to stay with her for two nights. It felt like good. The name is Lotu Business Hotel, which just started its trial operation in June. My best friend and I were their first guests. It was the first time we stayed in a brand-new hotel bedding, with snow-white sheets and quilts. The quilt was very soft, and the pillows were also very comfortable. I have a spare buckwheat hull pillow. Although this hotel does not have many rooms, it is clean and tidy. I personally think the location of the hotel is very good. It is near the Shangri-La Hotel and next to the residential area of ??Beihu Park (a natural lake here). It is a bit far from the city center. , the air is fresh, the environment is quiet, it is very quiet when you go to bed at night, there are no dazzling street lights and car horns in the city center. And it is said to be far away from the city center, but in fact the city in Manzhouli is not that big. Wherever you want to go, take a taxi with a starting price of 7 yuan. This hotel has just opened and offers very reasonable prices. Standard rooms and double rooms are only 100 yuan each. What’s more unique about this hotel is that they mostly have suites, and there are also suites with five-person rooms, which are very suitable for self-driving and family trips.

The main places to visit in Manzhouli are in and around the urban area. There are few unique scenic spots in the urban area that you must visit. Of course, the first one is the Guomen Scenic Area. It costs 80 yuan per person. It is free for locals with ID cards. , the biggest attractions of the National Gate Scenic Area are the restoration of the Five Dynasties National Gate, and the Russian National Gate and the boundary monument that are very close to each other. Tourists who come to Manzhouli will take photos in front of this boundary monument. In addition, there is a red exhibition hall, which mainly introduces the development of Manzhouli, previous leaders who have visited Manzhouli, etc. On the way back to the city from Guomen, you can go to the Matryoshka Doll Square. There is the world's largest matryoshka doll here, which is quite unique, but the night view here is even better.

There is also the Wedding Palace, which is actually a European-style church. It costs 20 yuan to enter. Personally, I don’t think it is interesting. You can just look outside and take a few photos. You can visit these three places in one day. If the weather is good the next day, it is recommended to go to Hulun Lake for a day. You can charter a car, it takes about two hours one way. Hulun Lake is the fifth largest freshwater lake in China. It is very beautiful. It produces a kind of fish called white fish, which is used for state banquets. Therefore, when visiting Hulun Lake, it is also recommended to try the whole fish feast here.

On the third day, you can stroll around the small town and buy some souvenirs during the day. It is recommended to go to Quanta Market. Beef jerky, cheese, milk skin, simidan (sour cream), fried rice, kumiss, Russian chocolate, coffee? Everything is available, and you can also negotiate the price. Be sure to walk around the city at night and look at the night view. The most beautiful thing in Manchuria is the night view, which is not as bad as in big cities like Shanghai and Beijing.

Manzhouli is a small city. You only need to take a taxi to go anywhere. Generally, the starting price is 7 yuan. However, it costs about 50 yuan to go to the airport. It also costs about the same price to go to Guomen Scenic Area. If you want to charter a car to go to Hulun Lake, it is estimated to cost 800 yuan now. One day, the hotel owner mentioned above came to visit me.

The weather in Manzhouli changes frequently in the morning and evening and the temperature difference is large. Be sure to bring long sleeves and long trousers. In addition, the ultraviolet rays here are relatively strong, so be sure to wear sunscreen.

Of course, I traveled with Hengtai Travel this time. During the trip, their high-quality service left a deep impression on me. You can contact them when you come here in the future. .
