Top 10 attractions in Manzhouli
Manzhouli Guomen Scenic Area
Manzhouli Guomen Scenic Area is located on the Chinese side of the Sino-Russian border, serving as a key component of the Sino-Russian border tourism zone and a landmark of Manzhouli. Centered around the national gate, the attraction integrates border scenery with revolutionary history, featuring landmarks such as Boundary Marker No. 41, the Exhibition Hall of the Sixth National Congress of the CPC, the Red Tourism Exhibition Hall, the former site of the Red Secret Transportation Line, and three themed squares: Gate of Peace, Locomotive Square, and Fighter Jet Square. The current national gate is the fifth generation, built in 2008. The cream-colored gate body, over 100 m long, spans the railway line leading to Russia, facing the Russian national gate across the border. Its overall design reflects a post-industrial era style—simple yet solemn. Below the gate, two broad-gauge tracks and one standard-gauge track pass through, connecting with the Russian railway. Freight trains traveling between China and Russia frequently pass beneath it, creating a iconic scene. Inside the gate, the first floor of the tower features reliefs depicting the origins of the five generations of national gates and the treaties and agreements related to border changes in the Manzhouli area. The second floor houses an observation deck, offering a panoramic view of the streets of the Russian town Zabaikalsk on the opposite bank and the Russian national gate. Passing through the national gate and emerging from the other side, the first four generations of national gates are lined up in scaled-down replicas: from the wooden boundary markers of the late Qing Dynasty, to the wooden arch inscribed with "Sino-Soviet gate," then to the gate-shaped trestle spanning the railway with the slogan "Workers of the world, unite!" embedded on it, and finally to the fourth-generation national gate completed in 1989. From simplicity to grandeur, it resembles a condensed century-long history of the port's evolution and is also a popular photo spot for travelers. The red exhibitions are equally worth a closer look: the Exhibition Hall of the Sixth National Congress of the CPC features a full-scale replica of the "Silver Villa" meeting site near Moscow on the border, with recreated conference scenes displaying documents, photos, and figurines. The Red Tourism Exhibition Hall, expanded from the original Sino-Soviet meeting room, recounts stories of the secret transportation line that used a grocery store as cover to escort revolutionaries between Manzhouli and the Soviet Union. Outside the halls, the Gate of Peace Square boasts a striking sculpture resembling the Chinese character for "gate," while the Locomotive Square displays a vintage steam engine that served for over half a century. The Fighter Jet Square exhibits a warplane donated by the people of Manzhouli to support the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Before leaving, don't forget to find Boundary Marker No. 41—the actual Sino-Russian border—and avoid crossing the line when taking photos beside it.Manzhouli · 8.2 km from downtown

I visited the Manzhouli National Gate during the National Day holiday. The gate looks incredibly grand, and standing there filled me with a sense of pride. You can see Russia across the border; it's definitely worth a visit! The scenic area provides complimentary ginger tea. Thumbs up! It was quite delicious.

The Northern Xinjiang Observation Tower offers a panoramic view, providing a 360-degree vista of the border landscape and a close-up view of the national gate. However, it can be very windy at the top. The view is even more beautiful on a clear day, allowing you to experience the unique atmosphere of this border town.

这条最美边防公路，两边有美丽的草原，草原上有马牛羊，风光无限，一旁的对面是俄罗斯小镇。我们约下午约二点左右红过，路上基本没什么车，景观超级好。最美边防公路主要分为三段，北段为室韦到恩和，中段为恩和到黑山头，南段是黑山头到满洲里。这其中，南段开发较早，商业围较浓，景色不错；北段和中段非常原生态，走的人很少，恩和到黑山头的中段尤为出众。

Mammoth National Park is beautiful. We went during the May Day holiday. A sightseeing bus costs 15 yuan per person. It's quite large, with a loop of 5.2 kilometers. The facilities are poor; even the restrooms at the entrance were closed.

I passed by this park when I went to Manzhouli a few years ago and came here for a walk. The park has beautiful scenery, but now I can't go there during the epidemic. I just look at the photos at home and think about the beautiful scenery at that time.

I arrived in Manzhouli and visited the Zhalainuoer Museum. I learned about the ancient forest animals of Northeast China. The prototype of the mammoth was truly awe-inspiring. The museum is free and doesn't require advance reservations.
