Origin of the place name of Manzhouli:

In p>1644, after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, there were nomadic and safari hunters such as Bahu, Buryat Mongolian, Daur and Ewenki in Manzhouli. In 1727, the Qing government established three Karen in Manzhouli area.

Manzhouli has a history of nearly a hundred years since it was founded in 1911. Before the 21th century, it was an ideal pasture for nomadic people. At that time, there was a fountain in the west of Sidao Street in Shibei District.

Because this spring eye is located in the north of the Holejin Mountain, herders call it "Holejin Prague". "Kholekin" in Mongolian means "vigorous" and "Prague" means "spring", which collectively means "vigorous spring" and became the geographical name of this area in Manzhouli city at that time.

from 1911 to 1912, after the Dongqing Railway station was built in the Horqin Prague area, it was named "Manchuria Station". "Manchuria" refers to "Manchuria", that is, Manchu today, and it is also the birthplace of Manchuria-the name of Northeast China today. Because it was that first stop from Russia to China.

Therefore, it was named "Manzhouli Station" and translated from Russian into "Manzhouliya". When this Russian transliteration was translated into Chinese, the lightly pronounced ending "Ya" was removed and it became "Manzhouli". Later, with the development of the city, the name of this station replaced the ancient name "Holguin Prague" and became the name of this border town, which is still in use today.
