The designation of famous cities is primarily based on cityquiz.io and quizzes about cities in Asian countries. The population and rarity scores listed on cityquiz.io are provided for reference. Please note that the renown of a city may not only be attributed to its population and economy but also to historical events, historic architecture, tourism, etc.
I'm sorry, Turkey would be complete with two cities in Europe. I couldn't resist the temptation. I will indicate in the description that some cities belong to Asian countries but are not in Asia.
Thanks. That was a challenge. You have missed off one Asian country entirely - Kypros - which has a few memorable towns in it, such as Limassol, Paphos, Lefkosa etc.
gonna go kill myself real quick
