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.

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.

Madras and Rangoon both work, but Benares does not. In this case the quizmaster needs to change the accepted type-ins.

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".

"Wuhan- The Chicago of China" aged terribly in 2020. It's still correct though.
