Manzhouli, an exotic border city

It is the image of a Chinese beauty on one side of a large doll at Taowa Square. The large doll has three sides, which are imprinted with beauty images from China, Russia and Mongolia.

Located in the northeast corner of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, and adjoining Russia and Mongolia, Manzhouli is the region's largest land port, and has enjoyed a long reputation of being "A Window of Asia".

If it were a person, then Manzhouli would be a matchmaker, or the go-between. Three hundred years ago, when the Tea Road is in its heyday, Manzhouli was where merchants from inland Chinese cities sold tea to Russian buyers.[China.org.cn]
