The Manzhouli Matryoshka Scenic Area has a theme park and a theme hotel. The theme park ticket is 148 (for those under 18 years old, the ticket with a student ID is 118). You can play all the rides in the park (except the big circus). The ticket for the big circus is 198-598 (this ticket includes all the items in the amusement park). The big circus starts at 7:30 pm and is performed by Russians. After checking in at the Matryoshka Theme Hotel (the accommodation fee includes all the rides in the amusement park), all the rides in the amusement park are open until 8:30, and the entire theme park closes at 10 o'clock. All transportation in the theme park is charged separately. There is a fountain show and performances by Russians and Mongolians at 9 o'clock in the evening. The ticket for the amusement park is a one-time ticket, and you cannot enter after leaving the amusement park (it is not necessary for those staying at the Matryoshka Theme Hotel). The Extreme Park, Matryoshka Square and Happy Park are separated by a fence.

The most interesting thing in Manzhouli is the Matryoshka Square, which houses the world's largest nesting dolls. Inside will be a five-star hotel full of Russian style. In short, the whole scene is a magical one.

The legendary super big nesting doll! It's really magical to stand below and watch. At night, all the lights are on. The style buildings look more gorgeous under the lights. We feel like we are going to a grand ball. There are fountains and Russian style performances inside. The big nesting doll in the distance lights up, and a big face stands in the air. It's so magical! ! The design of the nesting doll square is particularly magical. In addition to the big and small nesting dolls, European-style buildings, and some fairy tale things, children should be very happy to come here. Especially their trash cans appear in front of various buildings. The two little nesting dolls are like two little sisters hiding and whispering. They are very cute.

The Manzhouli Matryoshka Scenic Area is a large entertainment scenic area featuring Russian architectural style. The main entertainment projects include Russian circus performances, Impression Matryoshka outdoor live performances, super realistic 6D dome flying theater, dreamy holographic ballet theater, etc. It was drizzling when we went there. We were going to the border, so we walked around the gate but didn't go in.

By Happy Little Cat |

There are nesting dolls of different sizes, shapes and colors, and you can take as many photos as you want! It is said that the number of nesting dolls here has been selected into the Guinness World Records. Every year during the peak season, the big circus performances, 5D movies, etc. here are very popular. If you have never been to Russia, you can experience the exotic customs of Russia here.

By ~Sunrise~ |

The Matryoshka Scenic Area is divided into daytime and nighttime. When we went there, we bought tickets for the nighttime session. There were no performances during the daytime. The ticket price was 100 yuan, but the night view was still very attractive. The Matryoshka Hotel is also in this scenic area. You can use your face to enter the Matryoshka Hotel for a visit, and then you can use your face to return to the scenic area. There are several small theme pavilions in the Matryoshka Scenic Area, all of which can be visited. It is very photogenic here both during the day and at night.

After buying the ticket and entering the scenic area, I felt like I had entered a world of nesting dolls. There were dozens of nesting dolls of all sizes all over the square, and it seemed that everything here was in the shape of a nesting doll, including the rest room, the toilet, and the trash can...

By Xiqige |

The Matryoshka Square in Manzhouli includes a hotel in the shape of a nesting doll and a playground with Russian architectural style. As long as you stay in the Matryoshka Hotel, you can visit the Matryoshka Square for free. Russian song and dance performances are held in the Matryoshka Square every night. The buildings with various lights at night are also a beautiful landscape. The main building of the Matryoshka Hotel is very distinctive, and its decoration style is based on the Russian style. It is magnificent and magnificent. At the same time, the building can be said to be the largest nesting doll in the world.

By Mud Sauce |

Russian-style architecture is very beautiful with its rich colors, and its beauty is doubly enhanced against the blue sky.

However, we did not pay to enter the scenic area of Matryoshka Square. After all, the ticket is not cheap (it seems to be more than 100 yuan). It is not necessary to take pictures with the newly built buildings in recent years. It is enough to take pictures of the exterior.

By The river is clear |

Due to heavy rain, we didn't see the night light show, but the night lighting effect still made us feel very beautiful. We believe that the night light show must be very beautiful.

Although the Manchuria Doll Square is already a familiar tourist attraction on the Internet, it still feels very beautiful, unique and attractive after entering. People who like to take photos can find many beautiful pictures.

By Lan Xinrong |

The Matryoshka Square in Manzhouli is definitely a place you must visit, especially if you are traveling with children. After all, it is like a fairy tale world, with Russian-style architecture and colorful buildings. The large-scale Matryoshka dolls are sure to please both adults and children. You can also buy some souvenirs here to take home for your relatives and friends. Another point is that the photos taken here are also very beautiful, enough to attract the attention of friends in the circle.

By Zheng Tai YY |

I think this is a must-go place if you bring your kids. Because kids love this kind of amusement park, but there aren't many rides and the place isn't very big. There are just some buildings with special shapes that are eye-catching. But as a well-known local attraction, it's okay to go there. You can walk around it in two hours. You can also rent a horse-drawn carriage to go around. The price of each carriage is different. Ours is 50 yuan per round. It took about ten minutes to walk around the whole park.

By GAGA |

The Matryoshka Scenic Area is actually an amusement park. If you are not traveling with your family, you don’t need to buy a ticket to enter. The largest matryoshka that you can see belongs to the Matryoshka Hotel. It is enough to take pictures standing in the square outside the Matryoshka Hotel.

By Nine-bag elder |

Matryoshka Square is a man-made building built in the shape of nesting dolls. It is located on the main road of Manzhouli leading to the national border. It is recommended to go there at night to see the night view. As soon as the night fell in Manzhouli, it began to rain. There were few pedestrians on the road. The night view of Manzhouli after the rain became cleaner and fresher. The lake, the road, the park, the golden night view are reflected everywhere. The rainy night in Manzhouli is not lacking in the dazzling lights.

By Hulunbuir Fun Tour |

Being in Manzhouli, it is easy to have the illusion of being in a foreign country. Gothic buildings are everywhere on both sides of the streets where cars pass. This is a port city with a century-old history. It is known as the "Window of Asia" and is the largest land port in my country. It is backed by the Northeast and North China Economic Zones, bordered by Russia to the north and Mongolia to the west. After a century of wind and rain and ten years of opening up, Zhalainuoer culture inherits the long history of ancient civilization, and the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures is unique and charming.



Chartering a car is a more mainstream way of traveling in the local area. Whether the trip is pleasant depends to some extent on the driver and the weather. A good driver will give you a perfect itinerary, and good weather will make you feel good and take good photos, so a good driver is as important as good weather.

The world's largest nesting doll

I don't remember if the off-season ticket price for Matryoshka Square was 50 or 80 because I didn't buy it.

The red exterior building has a variety of small theater performances of various sizes.

Basically, you can look at the dolls and buildings during the day and take photos. At night, you can see the lights. There will be Russian circus performances during the peak season.

By Hulunbuir locals |

Manzhouli Russian Matryoshka Square is the only tourist, leisure and entertainment square in the country with the theme of Russian traditional handicraft - Matryoshka. It concentrates on the regional characteristics of Manzhouli where China, Russia and Mongolia meet and the fusion of the customs of the three countries.

The Matryoshka Scenic Area has the only Matryoshka-themed hotel in China, which is the largest theme hotel in Manzhouli. It has more than a thousand luxurious theme rooms. The hotel has a unique style and pleasant scenery, and is closely connected to the Matryoshka Scenic Area. During the peak tourist season, the hotel is often fully booked and the prices are shockingly expensive.

By Rain cc |

When you come to the nesting doll scenic area, it is just an amusement park. Staying in the nesting doll hotel is not cost-effective.

But the lobby on the first floor of the hotel is still worth visiting.

By ゴドメス |

Just check in, take nice photos, the hotel is low cost-effective.

It's free, there are many Russian buildings, and you can take photos with the Matryoshka Hotel.

By xiaopao275 |

There is not much more inside than outside, and the ticket price is 100 yuan. The huge nesting doll building is a hotel, not in the square

The night view of Matryoshka Square is super beautiful. You must not miss it when you come to Manzhouli.

It is a scenic spot with strong ethnic and local characteristics. It is very pleasant to take pictures in the square even if you don't enter the park.

By Zhan Weixin |

I arrived at the Matryoshka scenic spot at 10 o'clock in the morning but it was still closed. I could only look at it from the outside.

By Doraemon's little girl |

You need a ticket to enter. My local relatives said that there is not much point in entering, and it costs 100 per person, so I just took pictures outside. The Russian-style architecture is very interesting. There are so many people in the tourist square. If you want to take good pictures, you can walk further away.

There are many nesting dolls in the Matryoshka Square. The one in the middle is the restaurant. I like this doll the most and took a photo of it.

The Manzhouli Matryoshka Square is actually a comprehensive amusement venue with an amusement park, circus, etc. It takes a whole day to visit.

By Xiangfei Zizhu |

Tip: Matryoshka Square was said to be a free square before, but later it started charging admission and gradually evolved into a mature amusement park. Tickets are 80 yuan in the off-season and 148 yuan in the peak season. Inside are Russian-style matryoshka buildings and some entertainment projects. People who love to play can go in. I heard that the night view is also amazing.

We stayed at the Matryoshka Hotel in Manzhouli, which was really beautiful, as if we were in a fairy tale kingdom.

The design of the Matryoshka Hotel is based on European style. It is 72 meters high and incorporates Matryoshka theme elements. It integrates catering, accommodation, business, conferences and tourism. It has a construction area of nearly 100,000 square meters and a total of more than 1,000 rooms. It is currently the largest theme hotel in Hulunbuir.

When the bus entered the Matryoshka scenic area, we were all attracted by the exquisite buildings outside, and everyone took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

By bluecrane |

[Location] Chinatown Street probably concentrates all the scenic spots worth visiting in Manzhouli. You can take bus No. 10 or No. 6, which stops at the entrance of the scenic spot.

[Tickets] Full price is 100 yuan, 98 yuan online. The ticket window is very direct, with "100 yuan" written in super large letters on each window, and discount information written in small words below.

[Environment] The night view at the main gate is better, and you can see a little deeper during the day. We didn't buy a ticket to go in. The largest nesting doll (Performance Plaza) at the main gate has begun to fade on the sunny side. From a distance, you can see all kinds of nesting dolls inside. The trash cans in the square outside are also nesting dolls. According to the taxi driver, you can't see so many onion-domed buildings in Russia, it's more Russian than Russia.

[Surroundings] I went to the tourist center at the entrance with high hopes to ask where the "Matryoshka Post Office" was. The staff even pointed the way. However, when I got to the post office, I saw that it was empty. It was a small pavilion of about 4 or 5 square meters. There were only a few postcards on the glass door and the words "Matryoshka Post Office" on the wall to indicate its original function. There was only some garbage that had not been cleaned up. I was very disappointed.

By Scorpion arrow |

It is not suitable to go to the amusement park in the off-season, it is too deserted... I got a free ticket to the Matryoshka scenic spot when I stayed at the Matryoshka Hotel, so I went in to have a look. The scenic spot is not very big, mainly for amusement and entertainment, it should be more suitable for family travel, and the most exciting roller coaster is only a small circle. The most important thing is that there are too few tourists in the off-season, and the roller coaster will only open when there are 8 people, and it is almost not full. But there are also advantages, it is suitable for taking pictures.

By Curry Cody |

The amusement park with nesting dolls is so interesting! The price is cheap, and the amusement facilities are no worse than those in big cities, and there are fewer people. I strongly recommend staying at the Nesting Doll Hotel, which is luxurious and cheap with free tickets.

By Andrew Sheep |

In fact, I personally suggest that you don’t need to enter the gate when visiting the nesting doll scenic area. You can also feel the artistic atmosphere of the nesting doll culture in the outdoor square.

In the eyes of ordinary people, squares in Chinese cities are all free and open public areas. The popular square dance in China is due to the open public areas. Therefore, in our understanding, the square is a public place in a city. However, there is a place in China that charges a fee for the square, and the price is not cheap. This square charges 100 yuan in the off-season and 198 yuan in the peak season. Previously, this square was a free and open public area like other city squares in the country.



The Matryoshka Park was formerly known as the Matryoshka Square. This square is a cultural square with certain local characteristics in Manchuria, Hulunbuir. Many tourists are attracted to this place with ethnic characteristics.



Many people may be curious about where this is? Why is there a charge for entering the square? This is Manzhouli in Inner Mongolia, a border region of my country. This square is the Matryoshka Square, which was open to the public for free until last year. Matryoshka is famous at home and abroad for its magical national art and culture. Matryoshka Square is famous throughout the country for its Matryoshka culture, but shrewd businessmen use it as a tourist attraction as a tool to charge for profits.



The culture of nesting dolls is the excellent culture of the motherland and the crystallization of the wisdom and culture of the children of the Inner Mongolian ethnic group. It should be protected and promoted as a national quintessence. Let the world know the mystery and charm of the culture of nesting dolls, rather than using this method to seek economic benefits. After all, in addition to ticket revenue, there will be more social development benefits.



At present, the Matryoshka Scenic Area, which was renamed from the Matryoshka Square, includes the Matryoshka Outdoor Square, which is a free area. One is the Russian Cultural Performance Square and the Children's Entertainment Center. In fact, I personally suggest that you don't need to enter the gate when visiting the Matryoshka Scenic Area. You can also feel the artistic atmosphere of the Matryoshka culture in the outdoor square.



Well, finally, let us take a look at the scenery and situation of this expensive Matryoshka Square.

The Matryoshka Doll Scenic Area is an important part of the China-Russia border tourist area and is a large-scale Russian-style park.

By Passerby C8 |

Staying at the Matryoshka Hotel will give you free tickets to the scenic area. The park is mainly an amusement park, Russian building complex, circus theater. In the evening, you can watch the Russian circus performance.

By Sun Zhaoyang |

Many projects are not open. They say that they can only be opened when there are eight people. There are not even eight people in the whole scenic area. I bought the ticket in vain. There are all kinds of shops inside. It is definitely the worst attraction in Manzhouli.

By Xu Xiaoxian Ace |

Nothing much to say, must-see attractions...You can stay at the Matryoshka Hotel...

By Literary Black Cat |

When I went there, the Matryoshka Square was under renovation, so I couldn't go in and just took a few photos at the entrance.

By Contented |

The Matryoshka scenic area is actually an amusement park. People who stay at the Matryoshka Hotel can get free tickets to see the circus at half price. However, we booked the room through a travel agency and did not have this benefit.

The Matryoshka Square at night is like a world of ocean light. The twinkling lights are like burning flames, falling on the world. The vehicles on the road and the colorful lights on the high-rise buildings seem to welcome us. The Matryoshka Square fully reflects the characteristics of the fusion of the customs of China, Russia and Mongolia.

The fountain water and wood show at 9 o'clock in the evening is good. You must go in and see it even if you don't stay at the Matryoshka Hotel.

The driver is a skilled driver and the trip was worthwhile. I could truly experience the feeling of crossing the prairie. Thank you for the driver's exquisite arrangements for four days!

Not bad, just 4 kilometers from the city center and 3 kilometers from the national border! You must go to see the Russian Circus when you come here! Really 6666

I feel that the line design in the park is unreasonable.

The Matryoshka Square is very average, a bit too commercialized, with a circle of shops. The Matryoshka Hotel is very nice, magnificent, but you can't go back to the square after entering the hotel from the Matryoshka Square, so be careful.

I want to say that the building is nice. But if it is for children, forget it. The amusement projects inside are mediocre. There are too many people to get in line, and it is not fun. For example, the small airplane for children takes 20 minutes for ticket checking and security check. How can there be 3 shows in an hour? Then it opens for an hour and rests for an hour. It is a complete scam. The flying screen theater inside is even more deceptive. There are 40 people in a show, and it is one show per hour. Isn't this nonsense? The biggest surprise is the Russian circus. It's a pity not to see it. In fact, if I buy a ticket, I will never spend 140 to enter. I recommend the circus, it is really wonderful.

I took a look from the outside and it feels good. It should be a favorite of children.

A check-in attraction, the interior decoration of the Nesting Doll Hotel is very luxurious. Friends who have time can go in and take a look.

A very famous scenic spot, worth a visit. On the way from the city to the national gate, you can see it from the bridge, very obvious. But it feels very commercialized, fortunately we just took photos at the door and left.

The Matryoshka Square is built with a unique and exotic style. The night view is beautiful and suitable for sightseeing, but the system of the amusement area inside is a bit of a scam. The 148 yuan ticket includes the cost of the amusement projects inside, but some projects are either not open, or have limited opening hours or limited number of people, especially the dome flying theater. If you want to queue up to watch it, you basically can't play anything else. Hundreds of people lined up outside, and some people waited from 12 o'clock to more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon and still couldn't get in, because only 40 people can enter a show, and only one show is played in an hour, which is actually only 10 minutes. There is no hope of getting in at all. The scenic area system really needs to be rectified! Many tourists in the park have been dissatisfied.

There is a very beautiful legend about nesting dolls in Russia: There was a young man who lost his parents when he was young and depended on his sister for life. But his sister got lost in a snowstorm while shepherding sheep. The brother missed her very much, so he carved a wooden doll to carry with him. Every year, the brother carved a bigger one, and in his mind, his sister grew up a year older. In this way, the brother carved many wooden dolls for many years. Gradually, nesting dolls became a traditional handicraft in Russia.

The Matryoshka Square truly reflects the regional characteristics and customs of the border between China, Russia and Mongolia. It is composed of 200 nesting dolls, 34 eggs and lifelike zodiac animals. It has two Guinness World Records. There are many exciting large-scale entertainment facilities in the park.

As soon as you arrive in Manzhouli, you will be deeply attracted by the Matryoshka Square, which is an amusement park built to suit this tourist city.

There are greater possibilities for blockbuster movies to be produced in Matryoshka Square.

The Matryoshka Square is composed of an amusement area and a big circus. We didn't want to watch the big circus, so we went to the scenic area and bought tickets for the amusement area. You can play each of the amusement facilities once, but what attracted me most was the high saturation colors inside.

The most beautiful square, with everything for eating, drinking and having fun, it’s just beautiful.

The beautiful Hulunbuir prairie has abundant rainfall this year

The Matryoshka Square contains many nesting dolls and large-scale amusement facilities, a bit like those in Disneyland, and is still under expansion.

On Chinese soil, the characteristic scenic spots of Tsarist Russia are promoted and exhibited. I don't know whether it is to make us remember or to let go of the history of the present Mongolian territory being split from the Chinese territory. Is the heavy rain telling or washing away?

You can watch the big circus at 19:30, it's super good, this is definitely recommended, and it's also the most expensive ticket for this attraction along the way.

There are many scalpers in the parking lot, the price is good, and entering the park is also smooth

After the circus, you can follow the crowd and there will be a water curtain show by the water. The temperature at night is only about 10 degrees, so be sure to bring thick clothes, fleece or jacket.
