First time to been refused a hotel in China.
This was the first time ever I have been refused a hotel in China. This was the Lager Palace Hotel. Surely they mentioned that they don’t have the authority to accommodate foreigners but that is bull. Normally the situation is like this, they don’t know and refer to very old law, they don’t want the hassle with registration or they don’t know how to do it.
The first night I slept in the caravan in the parking lot which was good, enjoyed the silence but took a shower in the hotel room. My Wife and kids (the kids were ok even with Finnish citizenship) wanted to stay one night instead of the small caravan. One of our friends was born Chinese but has a Singaporean passport and he was also refused.

Luckily across the street, we had Menggenhua Self-Driving Travel Fangche Resort Camp
This was a well-equipped campground and also clean and organized. Unfortunately, we don’t have many pictures of it but if you travel to Mangzhouli by RV or caravan this is a great place to stay a couple of nights.
The slots had water, electricity and even sewage water collection so you could empty your septic tank.
Manzhouli Matryoshka Square is only 7km away and takes only 10 minutes by car.
Very short video of the campground lights
