Nice quiz. I got 263/500, but almost 20% of people still beat me! I also got 7 cities that "0%" of people managed to get, which is pretty cool.

You should accept Qiqihar for Qiqihaer by the way. It's the more common way of spelling it. Haerbin is also an alternative (less common) way of spelling Harbin.

Great quiz so what follows is nit-picking. You're being rather mean with the double and triple-barrelled conurbations, expecting people to name each of the components. That is reflected in the low scores. For example, I expect nearly everyone guessed "Seoul" and maybe even tried some mis-spellings without guessing what you wanted. I think that guessing any one of the components should score.
