Manzhouli Matryoshka Hotel | A Colorful Fairy Tale World

Last summer vacation, my family and I made a spontaneous decision to travel to the Hulunbuir grasslands, and our first stop was Manzhouli. This border city turned out to be so lively and prosperous, and what was even more unexpected was that it felt like entering a fairy tale world. When you come to Manzhouli, it's impossible not to see the giant matryoshkas and colorful castles, which firmly capture your attention next to the wide streets. Due to the peak of the summer vacation, we booked the hotel too late and didn't stay inside a matryoshka, but in a small villa building instead. The townhouse area is well-planned, with spacious parking spaces, and the houses are big. It's very suitable for friends to get together and play, especially since the first floor has a lot of space. There's a large bed upstairs and two single beds downstairs; it would have been even better if an extra bed could be added, as there's enough space for several beds, haha. Since the villa area is a bit far, it takes a ten-minute walk to reach the main building and restaurant. The castle building and the matryoshka are connected by a delicately beautiful corridor, flanked by various specialty shops and a photo studio. There are several restaurants, with Western food on the ground floor of the main building, Chinese food upstairs, and a large Matryoshka Hot Pot City, which is spectacular. It's like a grand wedding hall, with many separated tables, and even the pots are shaped like matryoshkas. Eating hot pot here doesn't aim for Sichuan taste but is definitely satisfactory. The breakfast is also in the huge banquet hall, which is resplendent and offers a rich variety of dishes. Manzhouli left a deep impression on me, perhaps because the color memory is too strong, and it's definitely a place worth visiting multiple times. 🥰
