UK cities are all so close together and aren't separated by vastly different climate zones or landscapes. If you remember Harbin has an ice festival and lots of Russian architecture, you're unlikely to get it mixed up with Wuhan or Guangzhou in a map quiz.
Agreed. It would be like expecting someone to identify every city in the Ruhr Valley on a map of Europe. They're far too close together for a map that big.
Just in case someone thought I was agreeing with the Macau post, I feel it's worth pointing out I was being sarcastic. On a map of this scale it would obviously be ridiculous to fit in a whole lot of PRD cities.
Is there no possible way to add more cities? It's quite clear that Shenzhen can't be added, due to its proximity to Honk Kong and Guangzhou, but what about cities like Tianjin, Hangzhou, Suzhou (granted, Hangzhou and Suzhou are close to Nanjing), Qingdao, Jinan, Xiamen, etc.?
If it merely went by population, then, for sure, Tianjin, Hangzhou, and Shenzhen would be there. The problem is their proximity to bigger/more significant cities. Thus, Urumqi, Lhasa, and Harbin make the cut, since they are clearly distinguishable. Qingdao, Shenyang, Xiamen, and Kunming might be good adds.
I for one welcome our new Asian overlords
