About Shangri-La Manzhouli
- Manzhouli handles more than 65% of China's land-border trade with Russia, making it the busiest land port between the two countries; the hotel is the only five-star international property serving the city's traders, diplomats, and travellers at this geopolitical junction of three nations.
- The city's identity was forged by the construction of the Russian-built Chinese Eastern Railway from 1901, which turned a steppe waypoint into a trading hub; the original railway station building, now a heritage site, remains visible near Matryoshka Square.
- The hotel's Russian restaurant, Salt and Bread, reflects Manzhouli's unusually large resident Russian community and its matryoshka-themed architecture. The city's most photographed landmark is a 30-metre nesting doll.
- Entry-level rooms start at 409 sq ft (38 m²).
