The core scenic area of the China–Russia Manzhouli–Zabaykalsk border port; the fifth-generation National Gate standing today was completed in 2008, spans the China–Russia railway line and is over 100 m long—the largest national gate building among China's land ports. Climb the National Gate or the revolving observation deck of Beijiang Mingzhu (North Frontier Pearl) Tower to overlook the Russian town of Zabaykalsk and freight trains of the two countries passing each other. Boundary Marker No. 41 is a must-stop photo spot, and Peace Gate Square, Locomotive Square and the exhibition on the CPC's secret liaison line together form a border narrative of "seeing two countries in one glance".
Getting there: 9 km west of downtown
