Manzhouli Guomen Scenic Area

Manzhouli can be considered as a recent stop where I had no expectations, yet it was full of surprises. I went there in April, and unexpectedly, I still needed a thick coat in the morning and evening due to the significant temperature difference. Friends who go there during the summer, remember to bring a coat. - 🌈 Mammoth Park and Matryoshka Hotel/Matryoshka Park, it's enough to just take some photos at the entrance of these two places, no need to buy tickets to go inside. 🇨🇳 The National Gate, I bought a ticket to go inside, 128 yuan per person, which allows you to visit the National Gate and the observation deck. However, it's just a brief look at the border of Russia, Mongolia, and China, and the ticket price is a bit high. 🚘 You can rent a car or hire one to go to the grasslands and Hulun Lake for a visit. It was my first time on the grasslands, and it was really beautiful. The clouds were thick and low, and the sky was super blue. But I went there in early June, and the grass wasn't very green yet, it will be greener in July/August. 👗 I suggest renting Mongolian traditional clothing to take some photos on the grassland. However, there are not many places to rent clothes in Manzhouli, Angar Youth Hostel has very characteristic clothes for both men and women, you can go and check it out. I took photos in 2 sets of clothes, and they turned out pretty well. 🏨 Many people recommend the Matryoshka Hotel, but I stayed for one night and it was a bit creepy. I heard that the price goes up to 2000 yuan per night during the summer. That's a big no for me. You can stay at the Manzhouli Hotel, a century-old establishment, which still retains the decoration style of the past, making you feel like you've traveled back in time. ⚠️ For transportation, it's actually quite convenient to rent a car for a self-driving tour. If you hire a car, it generally costs 150-200 yuan per day. For daily taxi rides, just call Didi.

Even if you don't go inside the scenic area, taking photos outside on the square is also very beautiful! Full of Russian charm Matryoshka Hotel An absolute landmark building, said to be the world's largest matryoshka. The most important thing is❗️ you can visit for free🆓! The exterior of the hotel is a super-sized matryoshka shape, and the interior is entirely European style~ It incorporates various matryoshka-themed elements, and the decoration is incredibly luxurious, with various oil paintings and murals as decorations, simply too beautiful!

#tripaway Fantastic streets around the temple with a large number of stalls selling allsorts. Another street has a number of small cafe type shops. The temple was very very impressive and free. A genuine taste of China culture. Interesting tower for a short visit. Do not need to spend a lot of time here as there's nothing much to see there #tripaway
