Any chance to accept Hormus for Hormuz?

How dare Manchuria have a city that doesn't end in zhou, zhen, or qing!

Beijing, Shanghai, Urumqi, Tianjin, Hong Kong, Macau, technically Taipei as well. Should I keep going on? Chengdu, Wuhan, Xi'an, Nanjing, Qingdao, Lhasa, Kashgar. That's as much as I can thing of off the top of my head that don't end in "-zhou, -zhen or -qing."

Beautiful quiz. Just the perfect mix of giveaways and head scratchers.
