What are the fun places in Manzhouli? Manzhouli Travel Guide

Manzhouli is located in Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia. The architectural style here is very similar to Russia. Tourists who don't know the truth will be shocked when they see the photos. This is a foreign land. Here is a specific guide for you.

Manchuria borders Mongolia to the west and Russia to the north. It is the largest land port city in China. Manzhouli's special geographical location creates Manzhouli's exotic customs.

How to play?

Because it is a port city, the exchanges with Russia are deeper. Almost all tourist attractions in Manzhouli that are worth checking out revolve around these two points. Of course, Manzhouli, located in the Hulunbuir Grassland, also has very beautiful natural landscapes.

Port Guomen Scenic Area

Ticket: 60 yuan

Opening hours: 9:00-17:30 (no entry at 17:00)

Since it is a port city, the first stop must be the port to see the country. A national-level scenic spot has been set up at Manzhouli Port, and you can buy tickets to visit it. After entering, you can see the Russian Gate and the railway to Russia on the opposite side.

The gate we are seeing now is the fifth-generation gate built in 2008. It is the largest gate at China’s land ports and is very grand. There are two broad rails and one standard rail below the country gate, connecting it to Russia. A large part of China's exports to Europe are transported via this railway.

There is a sightseeing hall on the second floor, where you can see the scenery of Russia's Zabaikalsk, which borders Manzhouli, and the country's national gate in the distance.

But to be honest, the ticket price for this scenic spot is a bit high, and there is not much to see after entering. If you just want to get a card and take a photo with the country, you don’t need to buy a ticket to go in. You can just take pictures at the entrance of the scenic spot.

There is a cross-border shopping mall in the scenic area. Don't recommend you go there to buy anything. The prices are very good, and the products sold are all Russian products that can be bought in Manzhouli City.

Taowa Scenic Area

Ticket price: 48 yuan (OTA platform booking)

Opening hours: 9:00-17:30 (stop entry at 17:00) Field)

Going back from the national port scenic spot, it is the most representative doll scenic spot in Manzhouli. It is definitely a must-see attraction in Manzhouli. It is said to be a scenic spot, but it is actually a doll-themed paradise.

The terracotta tile scenic spot combines Russian history and culture, architectural features and folk customs. Standing here is like entering a Russian scenic spot.

It has a strong Russian style from the inside out, and the architectural style is very Russian. Taking a photo and posting it to Moments will make people think you are in Russia.

There is a large doll square, which contains oversized dolls with twelve zodiac signs, various celebrities, various themes, and each doll's painted body is unique.

The small trash cans and bathrooms in the scenic area are all filled with dolls, and the amusement facilities are all filled with dolls.

Most entertainment facilities are included in the ticket price. With one ticket, you can play with bumper cars, roller coasters, and sledgehammers.

The supporting hotel of Taowa Scenic Area is the famous Taowa Hotel, which is right at the entrance of the scenic area.

The lobby of the Terracotta Hotel is based on the concept of the famous golden reception room of the Russian Winter Palace. The background replicates the walls of the War Room of the Palace of Versailles in France, and the ceiling is in the style of a hand-painted Russian church. It really looks like Versailles.

Basically, wherever dolls can appear in this hotel, there are dolls. Desk lamps, mirrors, water glasses...

It should be the off-season for tourism in Manzhouli recently. I think a calendar room can be booked for 300 yuan. You know, this hotel sold for 2,000 yuan at its most expensive. Those who are interested can go and experience it.

Yingshan Cathedral

Ticket: Free

Opening hours: all day

Yingshan Cathedral is not in the center of Manzhouli. It is located on a hillside on the outskirts of Manzhouli, where you can see the panoramic view of Manzhouli. Eagle Mountain Cathedral, also known as the Wedding Palace, is a spire building with twin towers of Orthodox bell towers.

I read some information online that it is the largest single-story Christian church in Asia. Since there is no official information on site, it is impossible to verify it, but it is indeed a magnificent church. During the day, a wedding palace may look ordinary, but at night, when the lights come on, you can feel its charm.

This church is usually not open to the public, so photos can only be taken outside. It is recommended that you come in the evening so that you can see Manzhouli under the setting sun and the wedding palace after it is brightly lit.

If you bring a drone, it will be a different experience to see the wedding palace from another angle, and it will definitely be shocking.

Wedding Palace

Night View of Manzhouli

The night view of Manzhouli is definitely the best I have ever seen. At night, Manzhouli will turn into a glittering city.

The entire city is lit up by unified landscape lights, and various spire-domed buildings are more prosperous under the golden lights. According to locals, the electricity bill is very expensive every night and is paid by the local government.

At night you can go to Beihu Park in the northwest corner of Manzhouli to see the night view. The buildings are reflected in the water, giving it a Shanghai feel.

When visiting Beihu Park, you can go to Manzhouli People's Square to sit and take a rest. There is a clock tower there, which is also very beautiful under the lights at night.

Hulun Lake

Ticket: 40 yuan

Opening hours: 9:00-17:00

Manzhouli is a small city , even the locals joke that just smoking a cigarette is enough, so staying in Manzhouli for two days will basically make you understand.

You can rent or charter a car from Manzhouli and you can reach Hulun Lake, the largest lake in Inner Mongolia, in one hour.

After leaving Manzhouli, there is a prairie, and the scenery along the way is also very good. Luckily, you can see camels grazing on the roadside.

Not far from Hulun Lake is Bell Lake. The combination of the names of the two lakes is also the origin of the name Hulun Buir. However, Bell Lake is in a military management zone and is currently not open to the public.

What to eat?

Manzhouli is located in the Hulunbuir Grassland of Inner Mongolia. Because of the special geographical location, you can not only taste authentic Russian food, but also taste the authentic scenery of Hulunbuir Grassland.

Authentic Russian cuisine: Loubry Western Restaurant

Business hours: 9:00-22:00

Address: No. 178 West Sandao Street, Suzhong Pedestrian Street< /p>

When you come to Manzhouli, you must try Russian food. Loubry Western Restaurant should be recognized locally as the most authentic Russian cuisine. Every night there will be beautiful Russian girls and handsome Russian boys performing singing and dancing shows in the restaurant.

Loubry cheese bag is a must-have icon. You can see the baking process of the Russian grandmother. The bread is stuffed with thick cheese and it tastes super delicious.

Queen’s Salad is also a classic dish. This salad literally translates to "salted fish in a mink coat." The beetroot in the salad was imported from Russia and looked pretty good. The ingredients are laid out layer by layer in the shape of small square bricks, with homemade salted fish inside, which tastes very strange.

Russian bratwurst looks a bit weird when sold. You can try the charcoal grilled taste, the meat quality is very good. A big portion. It is recommended to order for four or more people.

If you like drinking, you can also order Russian imported beer to accompany your meal. Eat wine and meat, have fun.

There is another good choice for eating Russian food in Manzhouli, called Katyusha Western Restaurant. But when I was sorting out the information, I found that this store is currently closed. You can try it if it's open when you go.

Inner Mongolia Food: Nomintala Milk Tea

Business Hours: 6:00-21:00

Address: No. 14, Building 5, Modern Garden Community, Liudao Street< /p>

When you arrive in Inner Mongolia, you must try this authentic Inner Mongolian dish. This restaurant is a local chain restaurant in Inner Mongolia recommended by locals.

Every table must order Nomintala milk tea, freshly brewed and drunk. Milk tea is a salty flavor from Inner Mongolia that highlights the flavor of milk. If you are not used to drinking it, you can add sugar at the table.

Buryat steamed buns are beef and onion stuffing unique to Inner Mongolia. The beef inside is large, with alternating fat and lean parts. If you eat too much, it will feel a bit greasy. If there are few people, you can just grab half a drawer and try it.

The red bean yogurt cake is a bit like yogurt-flavored jelly, with a rich milky aroma. It feels quite refreshing when dipped in blueberry sauce.

If you love mutton, you must try his hand-roasted pork. The sheep from Inner Mongolia are not unpalatable and the meat is tender. They are all made using the simplest method, and the taste is original.

Russian Bakery: Russian Leba House

Business hours: 5:00-20:00

Address: Hall 3 on the first floor of Xingjun Community, Yiyi Street< /p>

Leba Store has been open in Manzhouli for more than ten years. This store is very small and inconspicuous, so it's easy to miss it. Leba is the name of Russian bread, so most of the products sold in the store are Russian bread.

Push the first pineapple bun. In fact, it is not called pineapple bun here, it is very similar to the pineapple bun we usually eat. It's 6 yuan for the extra large size, and it's also mixed with some raisins, so it doesn't taste too good when it's fresh out of the oven.

Other Russian-style lebas were hard and dry when eaten alone. It is recommended to dip it in jam after buying it.

Fermented hops have a long shelf life and can be stored for more than a month. Many people buy a lot as gifts when they leave. If there are sugar-free ones, you can take them back and give them to the elderly at home.

Local dairy products: Gilami Suareba Square

Business hours: 8:00-21:00

Address: Suzhong Jin Street Pedestrian Street Chain Hotel Community 9 Number.

In Leba Plaza, which is hidden in a residential area, if you see a Russian clerk who does not speak English, people will not understand him at all. Just speak Chinese.

Timisulpa is the signature cake of the store, which is different from what you usually eat in dessert shops. It has the air of a fighting race and is very large and strong.

Although it is called Le Bafang, its most popular products are various dairy products. Fresh milk arrives from the ranch early in the morning. I can say this is the freshest milk I have ever drunk.

I recommend everyone to try his bottled homemade yogurt. It's very thick, not sour, and has a strong milky flavor. Very suitable for digesting food after a meal.

We also make these milk sticks ourselves. Milk skin with hawthorn is delicious and can be kept for a long time. You can buy it as a gift.

Where to go shopping?

Where can I go for a stroll? There are several large shopping malls in Manzhouli, including the Friendship Mall in the city center, the Wanda Plaza a little further away, and the Sino-Soviet Pedestrian Street. These are relatively comprehensive commercial blocks where you can buy food, clothing and other things.

If you want to buy fruits, snacks and daily necessities, you can go to Qingkelong Supermarket, which is the largest comprehensive supermarket in Manzhouli and a favorite place among locals.

If you want to buy some Russian specialties as gifts, it is not recommended to buy them in street shops. There are fakes. It is recommended to buy it at Dashan Soviet Food Store next to Friendship Mall. This store has been in business for a long time, with a complete range of products and guaranteed quality. I compared the prices and they are cheaper than other imported supermarkets in Manzhouli.

His prices are basically the same as Taobao, and you can find many products that are not available on Taobao.

Russian candies, chocolates, biscuits, and snacks occupy half of the shelves, and you can also buy them 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 take home and eat.

Russian brand hand creams and facial masks are very cheap and many people buy them. There are also some open-shelf cosmetics of international brands imported from Russia, such as L'Oreal, which are also very affordable and much cheaper than domestic counters.

There are also many varieties of vodka. You can buy a large bottle of the national happy water for twenty or thirty yuan.

If you buy too much and it is inconvenient to take it, there is a courier point at the door. Free packaging and can be sent home directly, super convenient.

Recommended stores:

Youyi Shopping Mall (Wudaojie North Market, 8:30-21:00)

Wanda Plaza (9:00-21: 00, No. 6 Chinatown Street)

Qingkelong (No. 9 Suzhong Street, 8:00-21:00)

Dashan Soviet Food Store (No. 28 Sandao Street , 7:30-23:30)

Although Manzhouli is not big, it is really a small town full of exotic customs. On days when you can't go abroad, going to Manzhouli to have a Russian meal and see dolls is a special experience. If you have enough time, you can drive along the border to see more different scenery, such as grasslands, mountains and birch forests.

Hotel

The best hotel in Manzhouli is the Shangri-La Hotel, Manzhouli. The current price of the calendar is 700, and the location is very good, right next to Beihu Park.

Other high-end hotels recommend Manzhouli Fandian and Manzhouli Diplomatic Club. They are located in the core of the city center and are very convenient.

Of course the most distinctive one is the Manzhouli Doll Hotel, but this hotel is not in the urban area of ??Manzhouli. If you have experienced it, it is recommended to keep flying: There are currently very few direct flights to Manzhouli, and only direct flights to Beijing, Harbin, and Hohhot are supported. There are many direct flights near Hailar in the city. You can consider taking a flight to Hailar first, and then taking a car to Manzhouli.

Train: At present, all the slow trains going to Manzhouli are green trains. If you don’t have enough time, it is not recommended to go by train.
