Manzhouli, located on the China-Russia border, truly took my breath away. With its Russian-style castles and churches, my friends all thought I’d traveled abroad. The entire city is bathed in a candy-colored, fairy-tale filter. If you’re visiting Hulunbuir, set aside a day for this enchanting little town— you’ll find every romantic scene imaginable here. 🚗 Must-Visit Spots China-Russia Border Gate Scenic Area → Matryoshka Doll Square → Bear Xiaoman → Wedding Palace → Mammoth Park 📷 Photography Tips 📍 China-Russia Border Gate Scenic Area Visit in the morning—afternoon light is backlit. The Manzhouli Border Gate, standing tall through five generations, solemnly guards this land and is well worth a visit. 📍 Matryoshka Doll Square The landmark Matryoshka Hotel is here, much larger than expected. The vibrant buildings make for perfect photo ops. No need to enter the paid area—just snap pics outside. 📍 Bear Xiaoman Inside North Lake Park, you’ll find a giant pink strawberry bear. Drone shots here are spectacular. 📍 Wedding Palace Avoid mornings due to backlighting. This hidden hillside church is best photographed from a distance with a telephoto lens for a grander effect. It also offers panoramic views of Manzhouli and is ideal for sunsets. 📍 Mammoth Park Take the bus from downtown—it’s convenient, with a short walk from the stop. The park features giant candy-colored onion-dome castles, a Ferris wheel, and mammoth sculptures.

Friends, Hulunbuir in the coming months is like a summer straight out of a Miyazaki film! I solemnly declare that no place on earth understands the romance and beauty of summer better than Inner Mongolia. Imagine a sapphire-blue sky dotted with large, marshmallow-like clouds, drifting freely across the boundless expanse like celestial spirits. On the vast grasslands below, herds of cattle and sheep resemble black and white pearls scattered across a green velvet carpet. Every snapshot you take while strolling through this landscape is a desktop wallpaper waiting to happen, a balm for the weary soul. You'll feel like you've stepped into a Miyazaki movie, a world of fantasy and warmth, where every scene exudes a dreamlike quality. This dreamlike grassland, to me, is like Li Juan's "My Altay," a poetic land full of the unknown and wonder. Here are some must-visit spots in Hulunbuir: First and foremost, the Xini River Grassland, a natural pasture in Inner Mongolia. Here, you'll witness endless grasslands, with green waves undulating in the wind like a verdant symphony composed by nature. Immerse yourself in the unique charm of nomadic culture, watch herders on horseback expertly managing their livestock, and listen to their tales of the grasslands, connecting with the rich history and cultural heritage of this land. Hulun Lake is another must-see. In summer, its mild and cool climate makes it the perfect summer retreat. Standing by the lake, you'll see the shimmering waters blend seamlessly with the distant blue sky and grasslands, creating a breathtaking panorama. Occasionally, water birds frolic on the lake's surface, adding a touch of vitality to the tranquil scene. Enhe Russian Ethnic Township is like a colorful fairy tale. As you ride through the birch forests, sunlight filters through the leaves, creating dappled patterns of gold. Traverse the grasslands, cross the hills, and watch as the setting sun paints the world in hues of orange and red, immersing you in a picturesque masterpiece. Manzhouli has its own unique charm, with its Russian-style architecture and candy-colored buildings, vibrant and lively. Walking down the streets of Manzhouli is like stepping into a dreamlike fairy tale, where every building seems to have sprung from the pages of a storybook, begging to be photographed. The meandering Moergele River resembles a silver river inlaid in the grassland. Its waters flow gently across the land, tracing beautiful patterns, a masterpiece painted by nature's magical brush. From a high vantage point, the river's winding course resembles a ribbon dancing across the grassland, a sight of breathtaking beauty. A trip to Hulunbuir wouldn't be complete without savoring the local cuisine. Roasted whole lamb, a centuries-old nomadic tradition, is a must-try. When a golden-brown, crispy roasted lamb is served, its enticing aroma fills the air, making your mouth water. One bite of the tender, flavorful meat is an unforgettable experience. Don't miss the milk tea with roasted millet. The crispy, golden millet adds a unique texture and flavor to the rich milk tea, creating a delightful combination. Beyond the scenery and food, Hulunbuir offers a wealth of immersive experiences. Try grass sliding from a 1200m slope. Feel the wind rush past as you speed down, a perfect blend of speed and excitement, leaving all your worries behind. Visit a private ranch, don traditional attire, and experience life as a herder. Hand-feed adorable lambs, watch them take food from your hand with their wet little mouths, milk cows, and brew milk tea, immersing yourself in authentic grassland life. Camping on the grassland is an unforgettable experience. Lie in your tent at night, listening to the sounds of insects, and gaze up at the brilliant starry sky. The stars, like gems embedded in the black curtain of night, reveal the vastness and mystery of the universe. Enjoy a delicious barbecue with friends under the stars. Experience a stay in a yurt, a traditional Mongolian dwelling, and immerse yourself in the unique nomadic culture. The yurt's warm and ethnic interior makes you feel one with the grassland. Matryoshka Square, a veritable Eastern Disneyland, is a children's paradise. The various Matryoshka-themed buildings and amusement facilities transport children to a fairy-tale kingdom of fun and laughter. Finally, go horseback riding across the grassland with a guide. Feel the wind in your hair as your horse gallops across the plains, channeling the spirit of ancient warriors and experiencing the unique thrill of horseback riding. A few tips for your trip: Hulunbuir experiences significant temperature differences between day and night in early summer, so pack a jacket or windbreaker to avoid catching a cold. Cell phone signals can be unreliable in some areas, so carry cash. The grassland enjoys abundant sunshine, but the UV rays are strong, so take sun protection measures. Mosquitoes are common in summer, so bring mosquito repellent. Most importantly, respect local customs, be mindful of cultural differences, and protect the natural and cultural environment of the grassland to preserve its pristine beauty.

#June2024 Starting from Manzhouli, the off-road vehicle drove on the border road, stayed in Heishantou Town for one night, and continued to drive towards Shiwei along the Ka Line the next day. Many places along the China-Russia border are sparsely populated, and the natural environment is pristine📸😍. Forests, grasslands, wetlands, and rivers are the norm 🍀📸, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere along the way 📸💕, giving people a feeling of paradise 🫰. It is best to travel along the border highway by self-driving 🚘 or charter a car 🚗🚙 or join a small group tour, because only in this way can you see the special scenery and you can stop and check in at any time under safe conditions 📸🌹. The grassland yellow flowers 🌼, purple flowers 🪻, white flowers 💮, and dandelions are in full bloom. Because I traveled during off-peak hours, there were not many tourists at the check-in place. Sometimes I could say that I dominated the grassland and forest alone, which was really cool 🫰💕. Qika 📸💯👍You can clearly see the Russian village opposite; at Chale Gol Lake 📸🌹, walk up the small hill on the side of the road, and you can have a panoramic view of the grasslands and hills in Russia. #Inner Mongolia In-depth Tour #Mainland China Attractions
