2025 Manzhouli Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

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

#June2024 The Matryoshka Square is a landmark tourist attraction in Manzhouli. The square embodies the regional characteristics of Manzhouli, where China, Russia and Mongolia meet, and the blending of the customs of the three countries. As soon as you enter the scenic area, it's like entering a dreamlike fairy tale world. It is a paradise for boys and girls, where you can fulfill the dreams of princesses and princes; adults can also regain their childhood dreams here. I like to look at each nesting doll carefully, because each nesting doll may tell a story 🌁; or describe a movie plot 🗼; or introduce a traditional custom 🧙. #Inner Mongolia In-depth Tour #Mainland China Attractions

🏨 Matryoshka Hotel 🚉Transportation strategy: Self-driving or taking a train, self-driving would be a good choice, as you can enjoy grassland scenery along the Suiman Expressway. 🌟Highlights: In the landscape of the Window of East Asia, the civilizations of the Three Kingdoms are integrated here. Everyone who comes here as if traveling through time is amazed at entering a real fairy tale dream. Castles, palaces, gardens, murals, sculptures, sketches... fall into the fairy tale hole and start a fantasy and adventurous journey. Living in the fairy tale of nesting dolls, on one side is the vast scenery of the grassland, on the other side is the colorful customs of the exotic land, and on the other side is the majestic border. Looking at the location of the Three Kingdoms, there are always more fantasy fairy tales than anywhere else. ❤Recommendation reason: For example, the nesting doll castle that only exists in dreams is located in a charming small town at the border port, stirring the heartbeats of China, Russia and Mongolia. Living in a real nesting doll, integrating into the structure of you in me and me in you, it feels like you are also a part of the doll, continuing the unfinished childhood dream. 🛏Room facilities: Falling asleep on a bed with a nesting doll pattern will surely make your dreams tonight more imaginative. Or maybe, a prince will appear in the nesting doll's water cup, and they will gallop on the grassland together. Or, the pumpkin carriage in the garden will take us towards our glittering dreams. 👍Most Recommended: Every brick and tile, every scene and painting, are protecting the princess' dream. Even if you wake up from the dream and return to reality, the beautiful memories here will still serve as the courage for real life. 📝Note tips: 1. Time selection: After the summer vacation, the school starts in September. There are fewer people, lower prices, a pleasant climate, and more beautiful grasslands. 2. Travel suggestions: Hotel check-in can directly provide free tickets to the scenic spot, the price in the off-season is 1000+. Several times lower than usual.

Get up close and personal with nature 🎉🎉Just back from Hulunbuir, where the blue sky, white clouds, and green grasslands create a picturesque scene with cattle and sheep grazing as the wind blows. July and August are the most beautiful months for the grasslands. For a summer vacation with kids, Hulunbuir is definitely an ideal destination! 🎉🎉 🚗🚗About the way to travel: Generally, it involves chartered cars, self-driving, or joining a tour group. For first-timers, I recommend hiring a local guide with a car. There are several reasons: many places on the grassland have no signal, and only local drivers know the way; compared to the fixed schedule of bus tours, chartered cars offer more freedom for kids, stop whenever you want, and do whatever you want to do. 🌈🌈Recommended itinerary: D1: ✈Arrive at Hailar Airport—Rest at hotel—Taste local cuisine D2: Hailar—Grassland crossing—Morigele River—Ergun (Asia's largest wetland) D3: Ergun—Birch Forest—Enhe Russian Ethnic Township—Shiwei (feed reindeer, river cruise) D4: Shiwei—K-line (China-Russia border highway)—Heishantou (horse riding, milking cows, feeding lambs) D5: Heishantou—Zhalainuoer Museum—Mammoth Park—Matryoshka Square (Manzhouli) D6 Manzhouli—National Gate Scenic Area—Hulun Lake—Home 🔥🔥Activities kids must experience: 1⃣ Horse riding on the grassland, feeling the thrill of galloping. 2⃣ Milking cows, getting up close with the grassland life, and feeling the charm of dairy cows. 3⃣ Feeding lambs, interacting closely with small animals, kids will definitely love it. 4⃣ Staying in a Mongolian yurt, experiencing the life of grassland herders, and feeling a different charm. 5⃣ Checking in at the Matryoshka hotel, enjoying the Russian style. 6⃣ Grass sliding, experiencing the exciting and fun activity on the grassland. 🍔🍔About food: The cuisine of Hulunbuir is also a highlight. Don't worry about kids not being used to the food, they will really enjoy the hearty meals there! The beef and mutton are so delicious, and you can also experience authentic Russian cuisine in Manzhouli. 👗👗About clothing: The temperature difference between morning and evening on the grassland is significant, so it's advisable to bring a windbreaker. You can wear normal short-sleeved T-shirts at noon, and sunscreen is also very important! Overall, this trip offered a glimpse of the grasslands and forests, an experience of the herders' life on the grassland, and a taste of exotic cultures, truly a fulfilling experience!

This makes travel convenient, as it is easy and inexpensive to take a taxi within the city. ⭕️ Manzhouli Accommodation Hotels in the Manzhouli city area are a bit old. The Matryoshka Hotel is not really recommended during the peak tourist season, as it's too expensive and not cost-effective. It is suggested to choose a Russian-style hotel for a good experience at a reasonable price. ⭕️ Heishantou Accommodation Heishantou is mainly Mongolian yurts. When booking, make sure to compare prices, as they can vary greatly.
