General presentation
Manzhouli
Spectacular border town combining Russian-Chinese architecture, continental trade and large landscapes of Lake Hulun.
The discovery of Manzhouli revolves around the Matriochkas Square, Manzhouli National Gate and Hulun Lake. The stay thus alternates between urban life, shores and lakes, the countryside and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Place des Matriochkas
The place of the Matriochkas grows very far the Russian-Chinese aesthetic with giant sculptures, colorful facades and leisure park. The ensemble is voluntarily theatrical, but it tells in its way the recent commercial identity of Manzhouli.
Place indismissible
Porte nationale de Manzhouli
The national gate dominates the main railway crossing between China and Russia, which is essential for transcontinental freight. The tourist complex allows you to observe the tracks and the border only from the authorized areas.
Lake
Lake Hulun
The Hulun Lake is one of the largest areas of fresh water in China, surrounded by almost unrecorded steppe. Its accessible shores are far away from Manzhouli and sensitive to changes in levels and violent winds.
