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

China's largest land port, the largest national gate, is located in Manzhouli, the remote small county town of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which may not be so familiar to most southerners.
Manzhouli's Guomen Scenic Area is only a few kilometers away from the urban area. It can be reached quickly by taxi. The national gate is 105 meters long, 43.7 meters high and 46.6 meters wide. It was built in 2008 and is embedded in the milky white door. The seven "red" characters of the "People's Republic of China" were adopted by the International Railway. The
Gumen scenic area covers an area of 13 square kilometers, including the No. 41 boundary pillar, the national gate, the red international secret traffic line, the main sculpture of the Peace Gate, the historical relief of Manzhouli, the red tourism exhibition hall, and the locomotive square.
SHUN.
Located in the western part of Manzhouli, Guomen is a milky white building 30 meters high and 40 meters wide. There are seven red characters "People's Republic of China" above the country gate. The country gate was built in 2008. There are three railway tracks of two widths and one standard below. The building is tall and magnificent. There are two squares outside the scenic spot, one fighter and one locomotive. The fighter plane was purchased by the people of Manzhouli for the donation of the state. It is now used to commemorate. The small locomotive in the locomotive square was the head of the train when Chairman Mao visited the Soviet Union.

The Five Generations of National Gates in Manzhouli.
Manzhouli is located to the north of Russia and to the west of Mongolia. It is an important port for China to Russia. Historically, five national gates have been established, known as the Five Generations of National Gates.
The First Generation of National Gate (Figure 2): Built around 1902. This is the initial boundary marker between China and Russia, consisting of wooden stakes, marking the border between the two countries.
The Second Generation of National Gate (Figure 3): Built in 1920. This is a wooden arch structure, with "China-Soviet Gate" written in Chinese on the Chinese side.
The Third Generation of National Gate (Figure 4): Built in 1968. This is a "gate"-shaped trestle bridge across the railway, with the red slogan "Workers of the World, Unite" embedded on it.
The Fourth Generation of National Gate (Figure 5): Built in 1989. This national gate is solemn and majestic, 12.8 meters high and 24.45 meters wide, and is a national gate in the true sense.
The Fifth Generation of National Gate (Figure 6): Built in 2008. This national gate is the largest railway port on the Chinese border, with a total length of 105 meters, a width of 46.6 meters, and a height of 43.7 meters.
These national gates not only witnessed the historical changes of Manzhouli as an important port for Sino-Russian trade, but also reflected the development of Sino-Russian relations.
RoamingRevelations
Manzhouli, the pearl of the grassland, a dreamy fairy tale.
Manzhouli, a small border town located at the junction of China, Russia, and Mongolia, has a unique geographical environment and profound cultural heritage. It is not only the gateway from China to Europe, but also a tourist destination full of exotic customs. Here are my travel experiences in Manzhouli.
First encounter with Manzhouli
My understanding of Manzhouli began with a random travel plan. Before that, my understanding of this place was limited to the description of the Sino-Russian border in textbooks. But when I set foot on this land, I found that Manzhouli was much richer and more colorful than I had imagined.
Exotic streets
Walking on the streets of Manzhouli, the most attractive thing is the buildings that blend Chinese and Russian styles. The red brick Russian-style buildings and the Orthodox churches decorated with onion domes make people feel as if they are in a foreign country. Walking among these buildings, you can hear Russian conversations from time to time, which adds to the exotic atmosphere.
Experience in the Russian market
One of the most famous attractions in Manzhouli is the Russian market. It brings together many Russian characteristic commodities, from handicrafts, matryoshka dolls to various characteristic foods, everything is available. I bought some Russian candies and matryoshka dolls here. They are not only souvenirs of travel, but also carriers of beautiful memories.
Border scenery and cultural experience
During my few days in Manzhouli, I visited the National Gate Scenic Area and the Sino-Russian border. Standing in front of the national gate, looking at the vast grassland and the distant border, I couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of this land. In addition, I also experienced authentic Russian folk performances and food in the Russian Cultural Village, which made my trip to Manzhouli more colorful.
Conclusion
With its unique geographical advantages and cultural integration, Manzhouli has left a deep impression on every tourist. It not only has rich tourism resources, but also has profound cultural heritage and hospitable folk customs. For those who are eager to explore new things and experience different cultures, Manzhouli is definitely a worthwhile tourist destination.

Manzhouli | Free guide to the National Gate Scenic Area
Manzhouli National Gate Scenic Area is generally a must-visit spot for tourists here
But the ticket costs 60 yuan per person. Many people say it's not really worth it. So what if you want to go?!
This time I personally experienced the free view of the National Gate Scenic Area
🗺️Map route as shown in figure 2
🌟First, navigate to the "Northern Border Pearl Observation Tower". Once there, to your right is a paid parking lot🅿️ (as shown in figure 3) but don't park here!
Go straight ahead into the area, and you will see the building "Manzhouli Sino-Russian Mutual Trade and Tourism Area" (as shown in figure 4). Drive to the left past the square
Finally, park on the roadside near "The First Gate of the North Country" where parking is free
At this point, look to your left and you will see the Sino-Russian border gate❗️
You can take a clear long-distance photo, but if you want to see it up close, you still need to buy a ticket to enter the scenic area!

②Try to choose good hotels for accommodation, especially for parent-child trips, comfortable living is even more important than the itinerary

.
🙋♀️Parents taking children on a trip😭 worry about the child being young, prone to crying and fussing, and also worry about being unfamiliar with the roads in Hulunbuir
Joining a 【Pure Play Small Group】 is the right choice🙋♀️

TranquilityRetreats
I haven't been abroad! This is Manzhouli, China!
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.

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! If you come to Manzhouli, don't miss it!
Free View of the National Gate
Following the route, you can first see the 'First Gate of the Northern Country,' which is completely free. To the left is the national gate, though there's a wire fence, but you can still take good photos~ The angle is not bad😏 If you want a closer look, you need to buy a ticket to enter. You can go up the observation tower, see three countries at a glance, which is also a special experience

You can take photos at the entrance without buying a ticket, colorful fairy tale castles + exotic Russian-style buildings, it's really photogenic. How should I put it, this castle seems to be made of candy🍬
City Night View

Had some super delicious Dalian bread, really special fragrance! Milk skin bread🥯 is like an oversized pineapple bun, 💰6r each, recommended! Caramel nut bread🥖 is full of walnuts, raisins, very substantial~ You can also try Dalian bread and dairy products here
🏨 Accommodation Recommendations
Near Zhong-Su Jin Street, there are many hotels and it's easier to park. You can walk to the specialty stores, they are all quite close
Dalian Russian Specialty Store
Milk powder chocolate chips are recommended, tasty and not expensive. There are many types of snacks, if you need to buy souvenirs, you can go and have a look, it's really nice to shop~ They can ship by express, if you accidentally buy too much, you can send it directly, it's suggested not to buy too heavy items, otherwise, the shipping cost will be overwhelming, haha🤭
Manzhouli is a very distinctive small town, not only gathering the cultures of China, Russia, and Mongolia, but also various restaurants, including Northeastern Chinese cuisine, haha! If you come to Inner Mongolia, you can spend a day to experience this fairy-tale-like city

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.

Located in the western part of Manzhouli, Guomen is a milky white building 30 meters high and 40 meters wide. There are seven red characters "People's Republic of China" above the country gate. The country gate was built in 2008. There are three railway tracks of two widths and one standard below. The building is tall and magnificent. There are two squares outside the scenic spot, one fighter and one locomotive. The fighter plane was purchased by the people of Manzhouli for the donation of the state. It is now used to commemorate. The small locomotive in the locomotive square was the head of the train when Chairman Mao visited the Soviet Union. The border pillar No. 41, at the border between China and Russia, is the territory of our country. The outside of the wall is not the territory of Russia, because there are still shared. That green post is the Russian post, and a post like Hulunbeier is very common, because Hulunbeier is a border city. There is an entrance below the country gate to enter the country gate, take the elevator to the observation deck on the second floor. The view here is very good. You can watch the Russian country door across the glass through the glass, and the huge Russian letters are equally spectacular.
Sky..
After coming to the Manchuria country gate, I realized that Chinas largest land port is actually in such a small city. The Manchuria country gate is still worth seeing. Especially those with red feelings, don't miss this place. From the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchuria National Gate has continued to this day, and the style has changed. It is now the fifth generation. There is a tour bus at the door. It is not recommended to take a ride. It will take about one kilometer to walk down. Here you can also see the restoration sculptures of the previous generations of the country, feeling that they accidentally entered the torrent of history.
Here you can also see the only national gate of Manchuria - block boundary monument - 41 boundary pillar. There is a Russian food supermarket at the exit, and I am also a dazzling one.
