A lot of these cities have military significance. Da Nang, Inchon (or Incheon? as I understand it's also spelled), Geneva, Kandahar, Pyongyang, and Vientiane all have had some type of battle or conflict there. (In Geneva's case, an antiwar agreement.)

Is that a coincidence?

That's how cities become well known. Why else would you know Kandahar, Afghanistan if not for the war over there?

Da Nang - Flashpoint on the former Vietnam dmz

Incheon (Inchon) - Location of massive amphibious landing in the Korean War

Geneva - The Geneva Convention

Kandahar (Qandahar) - A battleground during the Afghan war until 2021

Pyongyang - Capital of the DPRK and a heavy battleground during the Korean War

Vientiane - Capital of Laos, though I don't know of its significance

Really, people get San Pedro Sula.... It's not hard to get, btw 100% and please try my quizzes. I have a question, some sources call Taiwan as China... Would you count China as a acceptable answer as well....

Taiwan only refers to themselves that way when they have to by international treaty, such as on manufacturing country-of-origin labels, or the Olympics.

Try my quiz --> https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/156455/cities-with-the-highest-homicide-rates. I need to update it though. San Pedro Sula has dropped down the list somewhat now. It is unfortunate to be a kind of a bus stop for Colombian cartels moving drugs north to the USA. But apparently a number of community groups in conjunction with the police have put in a lot of work in poorer neighborhoods to keep teenagers out of gangs and the drug trade, so the homicide rate has dropped considerably.
