Chinese city names keep changing to make them more authentic, at least that's the way it seems in English. No way to figure out what's what anymore.

They changed around twenty years ago to match the more accurate pinyin system of writing Chinese in English letters.

I always just type ngzhou and put whatever letter is needed at the beginning, trying different vowels, and if that doesn't work, then eliminate the "g" and try again. I first tried zangzhous and then zengzhou and I got credit for that one. Gungzhou, Hangzhou, Tengzhou, Wengzhou, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Wenzhou, Quanzhou, Lanzhou, etc.

Missed Q and Z. What makes Wuhan like Chicago?
+8
Level 70
Nov 20, 2013
Dozens of roads, railways and expressways pass through the city. Also in the center part of the eastern part of China, like Chicago is in the Midwest of the US.

Good one, quite hard because of the spelling, lenient enough though.

Level 83
May 13, 2014
Not lenient enough for some of us Guangzu and Fukujima, for example, not accepted.

Level 73
Feb 1, 2021
I typed Fukujima at first as well.

I like that "Rangoon" is accepted for "city formerly called Rangoon".
+1
Level 90
Dec 19, 2016
Did you try Madras?
+1
Level 74
May 31, 2018
Madras and Rangoon both work, but Benares does not. In this case the quizmaster needs to change the accepted type-ins.

Level 79
Feb 1, 2021
Madras doesn't work now, but Rangoon still does.

Level 62
Sep 4, 2020
I don't think Madras and Rangoon should be accepted, as they are given in the hint.

And for sure , there can be a better hint for Pyongyang than "Kim Jong Un's city".

I'm always fascinated by "Ho Chi Minh City" as a quiz answer as NO ONE in the southern part of Vietnam, let alone in the city itself, calls it anything other than Saigon. You can't even find a tee shirt which references Ho Chi Minh City.

Zhengzhou is really obscure. I'd think a better Z would be "Province north of Fujian". It's a whole province!

When you have a go and guess Zhenzhou... then see the correct answer at the end.
