The Wedding Palace is located in the eastern suburbs of Manzhouli

It is a romantic Gothic church.

This was where weddings were held.

The interior is not open to the public now.

You can only look at it from the outside, but the photos are still very good.

By GAGA |

Manzhouli is a great place for taking photos. It is also a wedding palace that has been recommended by netizens countless times. It is located in a relatively remote area and is convenient for self-driving. You can park your car at the gate and walk in. The shape of the wedding palace is very similar to Notre Dame de Paris. There are not many people here, so you can take pictures of the scene without anyone.

By Nine-bag elder |

Manzhouli is also a very literary town. The Wedding Palace in the city is a church-style wedding venue. It looks very impressive. It just rained today. Imagine a carriage carrying a couple into the church on the promenade, swearing on the grass, and making promises in the church. Isn't it very girly?



The church is decorated with rows of confessional chairs, red carpets, and a golden dome. It is brightly lit and magnificent. In such a quiet place, sitting alone on a chair and silently confessing, you can wash away the sins of the world, gain rebirth of life and comfort of the soul. This is the most church-like church I have ever seen.

By King of Amy |

The wedding palace is a slot in our Manzhouli itinerary. First, it's because of the bugs. Around the wedding palace at night, bugs as big as five-cent coins and like small cockroaches are everywhere. It's not easy to walk without stepping on them. Sometimes they fly to your neck. It's really disgusting to think about it. This may be one of the side effects of the night view project. Second, it's because of the taxi driver. We took a taxi from the city to see the night view. The driver kept recommending scenic spots as soon as he got in the car. He also said that the wedding palace couldn't find a car to return, and he could wait for us, just to take us to a few more places. This is understandable. The problem is that from the time we got in the car to the wedding palace, the distance was only 7 or 8 kilometers, and the meter was 28 yuan. After we took pictures and got in the car to return, my wife asked him directly how the price was calculated at night. He said that it was more expensive at night, and even if we paid the number he said, it would not reach the number on the meter, so we got off halfway. The old and the young didn't want to entangle with him, but I still regretted not writing down the license plate and complaining, although I don't know if it would be useful.

By A Tu |

"There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, but neither is as brilliant as the lights of Manzhouli." The night view of Manzhouli is really beautiful and luxurious! There is a Russian wedding performance in the Wedding Palace, which is pretty good.

By I won't abandon you |

The most worthwhile thing about Manzhouli is the night view. In the off-season, the lights sometimes go out before 11 o'clock, and in the peak season (July and August), they stay bright all night. We came on May 20th, and encountered a strong wind on our way back to Manzhouli, so we had to delay for a day in Wudalianchi (due to weather reasons, especially strong winds affect your travel comfort). The last bus at 7:30 left from Century Square to Wedding Palace, and there was no return trip. We then took a taxi (preferably Didi, as passing taxis are a bit shady) to Matryoshka Square (it is only open at night during the peak season after July every year, and it will be empty before then. You can take pictures of the exterior and interior of Matryoshka Hotel. It is open during the day before July, and both Bus No. 6 and Bus No. 10 go there. The terminus is the National Gate Scenic Area and the Duty-Free Area. You can just look at the National Gate from the outside, and there is no need to spend 80 to get in. Be careful not to be scammed by people outside the scenic area who say they are taking you to the grassland, and that you can avoid the National Gate ticket in the horse riding area) , Zhalainuoer Museum (take a taxi and ask the collector to go to the new district at Century Square all the way, three yuan per person) should be visited in the morning, and the Mammoth Park is behind it. There are basically no people there in May. I heard from the locals that the night view there is also very good, and it is more convenient to drive by yourself. Passing by the temple is also a view. Because it is inconvenient to take a taxi, time is limited, and the key is that there is not enough money, I did not go to the night view there. The night view shooting location is Xiaobei Lake, opposite the Shangri-La Hotel and on the tower not far away, and on the way from Matryoshka Square to the city. Hotels are cheaper in the off-season, and you can see the night view by choosing a high-rise building. The Baikal Western Restaurant is cheaper in the off-season. The Rubli Western Restaurant is really popular. We went to Katyusha Western Restaurant and the bill was delayed (it is inevitable to make mistakes). Finally, we got the money back. The lady inside gave us one ruble, which was inexplicably happy. The brilliant lights are well-deserved, and the grass is far away but not close, which should also be clear. It is recommended to play for one or two days.

A very beautiful building, one of the places worth checking out in Manzhouli

By xiaopao275 |

The commanding heights of the city, the building is very similar to Notre Dame de Paris, but it is abandoned, but the photo effect is quite good

By Stop and Go |

The night is beautiful. You can overlook the night view of Manzhouli from the Wedding Palace.

By Chenchen Impression |

Come to Manzhouli Wedding Palace and hold a romantic wedding!

By Xia Jie |

The Wedding Palace is located on a small hill in the Dongshan Botanical Garden, the commanding height of Manzhouli City. It is a simple, solemn and elegant Gothic-style building. It is a comprehensive venue that integrates tourism, European-style weddings and other functions. It is also one of the landmark buildings in Manzhouli.

By Jack |

It's a Western-style church. You have to pay to enter. I only looked at it from the outside. You can see the panoramic view of Manzhouli, which is quite good.

By soul |

Taking photos outside is particularly beautiful and a great enjoyment.

By Candied Haws Girl |

It's just a church, and the night view of the building is nice

By Look around |

Manzhouli Wedding Palace is a church located on a small hill in the east of the city.

By Lost Deer |

There is a cross on the aerial photo. Many locals take wedding photos here. If you take a taxi, be sure to ask the driver to wait for you here. It is really hard to get a taxi here. Why does this place look so much like the style of Tang Monk and his four disciples passing through the Western Regions in Journey to the West? It really looks like a luminous cup of grape wine.

By Romantic Lee. |

The Wedding Palace in Manzhouli has a beautiful view overlooking the entire Manzhouli. I really hope to go in and visit it. This is an older building with a very Russian style.

There is no one guarding here. We went there during the day. It is said that it is more beautiful at night.

By I am Yuzu |

The buildings in Manzhouli also have their own characteristics. The Wedding Palace is a church on the mountain east of the city. I heard that the night view here is also very good.

By Frog |

The night view is simply amazing. The most beautiful thing is when you are almost there. Look over from the right side of the main road. Wow, it is so beautiful. The whole church looks like it is on fire. It is really beautiful. The beauty of the building should be seen from a distance. Watch the original song at the Wedding Palace. The night view of Manzhouli is also pretty good. I was not disappointed.

By Xu Xiaoxian Ace |

There is nothing to see, just a church, and there is no subsequent maintenance, and a lot of the exterior walls are peeling off.

By Literary Black Cat |

The Wedding Palace at dusk is super beautiful. From the hillside of the Wedding Palace, you can also see the scenery of the whole city of Manzhouli.

By Xiaojin's Daydream |

Our last stop in Manchuria!! The Gothic architectural style is beautiful from a distance

By Watcher |

The Wedding Palace is the highest point in Manzhouli and is worth a visit. To go in, you have to see when the staff are at work, which is super casual.

By Amon |

After staying in the youth hostel, I asked the front desk if there was any vantage point. The front desk recommended this place, a church with a strange style, called the Wedding Palace, where you can see the night view of the city. It is located on the hillside after leaving the city to the east of Manzhouli, and it is very obvious.

By Xiaohui |

Hulunbuir is the best-preserved grassland in my country, with abundant water and grass, known as the Kingdom of Grassland. It has the last reindeer tribe, Asia's largest wetland, the most mysterious primeval forest, and one of China's top ten charming towns, Shiwei. Come here to experience the culture of China, Russia and Mongolia.

By Stupid Wolf |

Very unique Russian-style building. It looks very majestic from the outside and is suitable for aerial photography, but it feels deserted inside. There is nothing else except the following souvenirs.

By A stinky pile |

It is a very suitable place for taking photos. You can see the whole Manchuria. It is estimated that it will be very beautiful at night.

You can't go inside, but there's no charge either.

By Wheat ears |

It has a Gothic style. Locals basically take photos and hold their weddings here. It is one of the landmark buildings in Manzhouli and the highest point in Manzhouli. You can watch the sunset and the night view here. It is highly recommended.

By Huang Yaoshi |

The wedding palace is at the highest point in Manzhouli. It is best to go there at night so that you can see the entire night view of Manzhouli. The wedding palace itself also has lights, which looks very magical. There is parking space

By Li Xiaolizi |

The Wedding Palace is the highest point in Manzhouli, overlooking the entire Manzhouli.

By Huiyou International Travel |

Manzhouli Wedding Palace covers an area of 3,000 square meters. The main body is 37.2 meters high and the top of the tower is 57.8 meters high. The architectural style is simple, solemn and elegant Gothic style. It has a worship hall, reception room, sightseeing elevator and sightseeing platform. It is a comprehensive venue integrating tourism, European wedding and other functions. It is a landmark building in Manzhouli. Its construction not only balances the layout of Manzhouli's east and west tourist attractions, but also adds to the beauty of the city.

By Gardenia |

At 3 a.m., my companions asked us to get up to watch the sunrise. From the red in the clouds to the rising sun, it was really beautiful.

By Shen Peiju |

When you enter Manzhouli, the first thing you see is the Wedding Palace, which is located on a small hillside, so you can see the panoramic view of Manzhouli from here.

The last time I came here, I saw her in the daytime. At night, she looked more like she was wearing an evening gown. The yellow landscape lights made her look magnificent, and her Gothic spire reached up to the sky.

By China-TravelNote users |

It's OK. I waited from the afternoon until the lights came on at night, but even after watching the night view, the bus was gone...

By Happy Kitten |

"Wedding Palace". Well, there is a priest, and after changing clothes, the wedding can be held. The guide said that it is particularly beautiful at night when all the lights are turned on, so we decided that we would go again after nightfall.

By Small emotional happiness |

The wedding palace is not open, but if I could get married here, my life would be perfect. I hope I can live happily forever.

By Sister Fan |

The Wedding Palace is a building at the highest point in Manzhouli. From here you can overlook the panoramic view of Manzhouli and have a panoramic view of the exotic city scenery.

By Isabella7 |

I have read a lot of travel notes about Manzhouli. It is almost a must-visit place. The location is not too close to the city. The Gothic architecture is very distinctive. It is worth checking in during the day or at night! We took a sightseeing train from downtown Manzhouli. If I remember correctly, the ticket price for the sightseeing bus is 50 yuan, of which 25 yuan is the ticket for visiting the Wedding Palace. The interior should be no different from most churches. Of course, I am not a professional in this field, so what I say may not be correct. The exterior view is great. I heard that locals will hold weddings here. It is worth visiting!

By Lerry |

If you look at the city of Manzhouli in the evening with sunset, it should be very beautiful.

By Nana, Nana |

You can enjoy the panoramic view of Manzhouli city, which is suitable for taking photos.

By gimoon |

Haha, Yingshan Cathedral is the Wedding Palace, and the Wedding Palace is Yingshan Cathedral, the commanding height of Manchuria and a landmark building. It's just that the imitation is a bit crude.

By xi-xi |

I drove to the Wedding Palace for a spin while it was still early. I wanted to wait until the lights came on to take some photos of the night view before leaving, but dark was still a long way off and I was starving, so I headed home for a big meal!

By Little Er Ni |

The Wedding Palace is one of the most popular tourist attractions, but it is not particularly outstanding among the magnificent sights of Manzhouli and Arxan.

By Chelsea chasing the light |

The Wedding Palace is on a small slope. It was not open when I went there, but the appearance is not bad. It is very suitable for watching the sunset. Related travel notes: Hulunbuir Arshan Loop: My set of postcards, http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/9160333.html

By Rowing fish |

A very grand cathedral in Manzhouli, the Wedding Palace, is said to be the place where most locals choose to hold weddings. How romantic it would be to hold a wedding in such a beautiful place. The view here is wide and you can also see the beautiful sunset.

By Inverted eight eyebrows are not sad |

We drove to the Wedding Palace at night. It was pitch black all around, with only the lonely church glowing, eerily beautiful. It is said that weddings are often held here, so it is called the Wedding Palace. This name is super romantic. Because the Wedding Palace is at a higher position, it is a good place to watch the night view. It was a little chilly in the evening, so remember to put on more clothes.

By Sweet water swing 💗 |

I brought my wedding dress with me, and my son and husband cooperated with me to pose for a family photo... There wasn't much to see at the scenic spot, but it was very suitable for taking photos~~

By Kiki's Holiday |

The scenery you see during the day and at night is different, you can take a look at

Come to Hulunbuir to enjoy the natural scenery, experience the simple folk customs, and appreciate the prairie.

By Evan |

It's a very stylish place. It's especially beautiful when the lights are on at night. It has a Gothic atmosphere. The ticket is 20, and it's free if you don't enter the palace. I think it's beautiful just from the outside, but it's not very interesting inside, just like most churches.

By Sanjiang Idle People |

It is a good place to watch the night view, and it is recommended for people who visit Manzhouli for the first time.

By Cinderella |

The night view from the outside is pretty good, but it's just so-so inside. I took a small train from the entrance of Port International Hotel. It costs 20 yuan per person to buy a ticket alone, and 30 yuan per person to take the small train with a ticket included. People under 120cm are free of charge. It feels worth it to enjoy the night view along the way. I drove at 8:30 pm and came back at 9:40 pm.

By Haibara HAN🎉 |

You must come to see it in the evening or at night to see the beautiful scenery, and you can also see the night view of Manzhouli

By 💋Beautiful and new |

It is still very beautiful if you go there in the evening. It is just an ordinary church if you go there during the day. It takes about 15 minutes to drive from the city.

By Sunset on Lake Lucerne |

There happened to be a couple taking wedding photos here, so we could only go around and take photos. When we left, they hadn’t left yet!! So taking wedding photos is not easy. Wearing a thick wedding dress under the scorching sun just for beautiful photos~

The Wedding Palace is a huge building. Compared to it, we can hardly see it~~~

By hula la |

Manzhouli is not that great during the day, but it is really beautiful at night. Every building in this city looks special at night, especially a place whose name I didn’t know at first but looked particularly beautiful. Later, Wang Xiaohei told me that this is the Wedding Palace, because many people come here to take wedding photos and there will also be Russians performing Russian weddings.

By Tofu brain with mustard tuber |

Be sure to go in the evening!!! There is nothing special about it during the day, but when night falls and the neon lights of the city in the distance light up, the Wedding Palace under the night sky reveals her absolute beauty.

By Little kid,,,, |

Standing in front of the Russian Wedding Palace, you can have a panoramic view of Manchuria

By Follow me everywhere |

The Manzhouli Wedding Palace is located in the Dongshan Botanical Garden in Manzhouli. It is currently the largest wedding palace in Asia, and its Gothic architecture is very beautiful.

By Big Rivers and Big Seas |

The Wedding Palace is located on a hillside on the east side of Manzhouli city. It is a memorial place for local people to get married. The Wedding Palace is like a Western-style Catholic church. It is very beautiful inside, but looks ordinary outside. It is one of the famous attractions in Manzhouli city, second only to the National Gate and Matryoshka Square. Of course, to see the most beautiful appearance of the Wedding Palace, you have to catch a good time, such as when a newlywed is getting married or when the Wedding Palace is holding an event at night.

By nono |

Typical Gothic architecture. It has no history, but it must have witnessed a lot of love and had a lot of stories. Many local people choose to hold their weddings here.

By Tanghulu wants to go out and play |

We drove up from the Jalainur Museum to the city of Manzhouli, passing by the Wedding Palace. It is said that this is the highest point in Manzhouli, overlooking the city of Manzhouli. The church itself is very beautiful, and it is said that the night view is even more beautiful. In addition, the weather was good, so I could take a picture with my mobile phone and use it as my desktop without any photo editing.

By Walker Lao Tang |

It's very spectacular, the colors are beautiful, but I didn't go in due to time constraints.

By peter0635 |

It's on the outskirts of Manzhouli, just a short drive away, and the church is very beautiful.

By Uncle Kai JK |

It is highly recommended to come here at night, it is very beautiful and you can also see the entire night view of Manzhouli from a distance.

By Yuecheng Qixi |

The building is very distinctive, and many people visit it. It is very beautiful to take pictures.

By Ruizi |

The magnificent building can be used to hold weddings. The entrance fee is 20 yuan. It is actually built like a church. The reason why it is called the Wedding Palace is subjective speculation for charging

By Monkey King and the Golden Cudgel |

This is an excellent location to view the night view of Manzhouli. At a glance, the original city of Manzhouli is shining with golden light. It is very beautiful and really hard to describe in words.

By Unemployed |

The Wedding Palace is located on a small hill on the east side of Manzhouli City. Locals prefer to call it the "Wedding Church". The Manzhouli Wedding Palace is currently the largest wedding palace in Asia. The Gothic architecture has a unique blend of Chinese and Western styles. The church stands on the hill, full of exotic style under the blue sky and white clouds, and you can have a bird's eye view of the city of Manzhouli.

By Emma Crybaby |

The Manzhouli Wedding Palace is located at the entrance of Manzhouli. It is located at a very high altitude and you can overlook the whole Manzhouli from here. The Wedding Palace is a church. It looks quite beautiful from the outside and is also a landmark building in Manzhouli.

By From Monkey to Man |

It's just a building. If you go along the way, you can take a few photos.

By Miao Xiaoxuan |

The ticket price is 30 yuan, and there is a charge for admission during the peak tourist season. It is a great place to see the night view of Manzhouli at night. It is located at the highest point in Manzhouli. The wedding palace will also light up at night, which is very dreamy.

By Romantic Aristocracy |

At night, we drove to the Wedding Palace in the suburbs to take pictures of the night scene. Since there were few stars and the laser pen was not fully charged, the pictures we took were just average. The night scene of downtown Manzhouli taken in the opposite direction of the Wedding Palace was also very beautiful.

By Tongcheng |

Beautiful place, worth a visit! ! ! !
