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. 🥰

Manzhouli Travel Guide: The Sino-Russian border port that you must visit in this lifetime

📍Manzhouli National Gate Scenic Area Address: Nine kilometers west of Manzhouli city Ticket: 128rmb The railway national gate is generally recommended for check-in. In fact, you can pass the highway port on the way to the railway national gate, and it seems that the vehicles on the other end of the road are from Russia. The development of the national gate scenic area in Manzhouli is much better than that in Yanji Tumen. There is a special passenger center. Although the ticket sales for convenience, I bought an electronic ticket and seemed to miss the 47th floor to see the three countries from a high place. (I bought a ticket of 128 by scanning the code, and the driver told me the next day that it included the ticket to the high building, but I didn't know so I didn't go up 233) After buying the ticket and entering the security check, walk close to the railway national gate. The building also looks quite majestic. As soon as I entered, a freight train roared past, loading a large amount of goods to the Chita region of Russia. Although there is no elevator in the national gate building, you can go up the stairs and stand inside to watch the Chinese railway and Russian railway on both sides of the national gate. After coming down from the national gate, you can also go to see the boundary monument next to it. Because I didn't bring an umbrella and it suddenly rained, I didn't continue to check in. I could only hurry back to the Matryoshka Hotel to get an umbrella and go to the next destination.

[Recommended for wall cracking] You can pretend to be in Russia without going abroad! Today, the Chinese do not have to go abroad to see the scenery of Moscow and St. Petersburg, and taste the most authentic Russian chocolate of the Three Bears. Manzhouli, located on the Sino-Russian border, is such a city full of rich Russian customs. There is a "Saint Vasily Cathedral", you are not mistaken, almost exactly the same as on the Red Square! Just without the gilded and Orthodox cross, it is actually the Children's Science Museum. There is also the famous Mammoth Theme Park, which has also become a business card in Manzhouli. On the streets of Manchuria, you can often find the shadows of Russian girls with long legs and blue eyes in the crowd. There is a giant matryoshka, rides, cafes, flower beds and dolls for tourists to take pictures. There is also a magnificent doll-themed hotel, full of Russian style: the clock tower, onion building and eggs make me feel like I am in a dream world.

Manzhouli, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, is located at the junction of China, Russia and Mongolia. It is China's largest land port and a variety of exotic cultures are here. The most fascinating feature of this hotel is the Matryoshka Hotel. The shape of the entire hotel building is a huge Russian doll. Into the door of the Matryoshka Hotel, the golden feeling of glory, like entering a European palace, you can see the elements of the doll. The exotic and exotic Manzhouli Matryoshka Hotel is unexpectedly called "the ugliest building in China" by many netizens. What do you think? Do you think this hotel is "beauty" or "ugly"?

Living in the most characteristic doll hotel in Manzhouli, the border port of China, Russia and Mongolia, whether it is the shape of the entire hotel building, or the various facilities and details in the hotel, I feel full of girls, saying yes The most "mengly" hotels in China are not overdone. If you are a girl or a child, you will be very happy. Have you heard of it? Do you want to live and watch?

The most interesting thing in Manzhouli is the Matryoshka Square. In the past, there was only a square with a large matryoshka and many small dolls. But after more than a year of reinvention, it has become a large doll and Russia. In the large scenic area of the architectural building, a large Russian circus was built next to it, and a huge doll hotel was built next to it. It is said that it is the largest doll in the world, and it will be a five-star hotel full of Russian customs. Anyway, the whole is a magic scene. When we came here, it was still under construction. Many places were not open. During the day, the scenic spots could not enter, but the staff said that they could go in at night, so they decided to stroll outside during the day and wait for dinner. ~ out of the big characters on the right, this scene is still very magical! When we can't get in during the day, we can only look at the door. The big red house below is the big circus. When it is open, there should be a lot of good things to watch! The following is the legendary super big doll! ! Standing below to see the real super magic! ! There are about a dozen layers, but unfortunately, I didnt finish it. I didnt even have the wall on the door. I hope I can go in and visit it next time.

Manchuria dolls hotel mentioned Manchuria, in addition to the country, everyone must go to the doll square, the doll hotel in the square is more distinctive. The night of the dolly hotel is very quiet, the lights are bright, as if walking into the feeling of Shanghai in the last 90 years, the glory. The hotel is of course very special, the shape of a doll, so that visitors can sigh that there is such a magical hotel, and it is also a museum, it is incredible. Matryoshka is a Russian thing, because Manchuria is very close to Russia, so the culture gradually merges. And the hotel room is full of baby's expression, whether it is a cup, a stool, a stiff neck, a lot of dolls are looking at themselves, think about it is very funny.
