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!
