Find a Real-Life Fairy Tale World in Manzhouli! Russian-Style Town Check-in Guide

My autumn trip to Hulunbuir with my bestie 👭 was totally won over by this border town, Manzhouli! 💘 It’s like a fairy tale town magically 🪄 transported from Moscow! The streets are filled with onion-domed churches ⛪️, colorful castles 🏰, and giant matryoshka dolls. Every snap is a stunning Russian-style photo shoot 📸! Walking down the street, you’d almost think you’ve been transported to Moscow’s Red Square~ ✨ Travel Tips: ✈️ Transportation: We chose to fly directly to Hailar Airport (Address: Hailar District, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), and arranged a local guide online in advance 🚙. There was someone to pick us up right at the airport, super convenient! 🌟 Top 3 Must-Visit Spots 🌟 1️⃣ Matryoshka Square (Address: Zhalainuoer District, Manzhouli City) 🎪 This is a matryoshka doll paradise! Brightly colored Russian nesting dolls and buildings arranged beautifully, it’s like stepping into a fairy tale book 📚 📸 Photo tip: You can get amazing photos right at the entrance, no need to buy a ticket to go inside~ 2️⃣ Mammoth Park (Address: Northeast Suburb, Manzhouli City) 🦣 The huge mammoth sculpture is stunning! It feels like you’ve instantly traveled back to the Ice Age ❄️ 🏰 There’s also a dreamy colorful castle, perfect for a walking tour, so you can skip the sightseeing bus~ 3️⃣ Hulun Lake (Address: Southwest of Manzhouli City) 🌊 The “Sea of the Grasslands” lives up to its name! The roaring waves completely changed my impression of the grasslands 🤯 📷 Every photo looks like a scene straight out of a movie! 🥘 Food Recommendations: Don’t miss Lubuli Western Restaurant (Address: Zhongsu Street, Manzhouli City)! 🧀 Cheese buns, borscht, blood sausage... so authentic it brings tears to your eyes 😭 💃 Every night there’s an amazing Russian song and dance show, eating and watching is an absolute blast! Manzhouli, this hidden gem town, really surprised me so much 💫 From the vast Inner Mongolian grasslands to the dreamy Russian town, this wonderful mix is simply irresistible~
