Biggest Cities by Asian Countries

Name the three most populous cities (city proper) in each country listed below. Population is based on municipal boundaries, not metropolitan areas. For the sake of curiosity and information the populations are showed, and althought the capitals aren't always the most populated cities, by intuition they were mostly placed first.

Populations are based on the most recent estimates (≈2024–2025) using city proper data.

There is only one case here of a country where only one city is demanded.
