Dear China

We here at Jetpunk love to take quizzes about large cities, but you have too many. You are making these quizzes harder. So China, please rearrange 1.3 Billion people so that we may have some easier quizzes.

Thanks, Jetpunk

There are*. As you are referring to big cities in China, it is plural so you should use the term 'are' instead of 'is'. Also, the 'C' in China is capitalised as it is a proper noun.

I'm slowly getting better. On a good day, I can get about 25 of them. Tianjin is definitely one of them (in the top ten for sure).

On a particularly good day (which today was not) I could get Tangshan.

I think this is the first quiz, however, where I can recall even having heard of Taiyuan. 😕

How did you come up with 6.95 million for Toronto? According to the 2011 Census, the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area had a population of 5,583,064. The Greater Toronto Area had a population of 6,054,191. Even if you include the unofficial Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, the population of both metro areas was still only 6,574,140.

For guessing Chinese cities it's helpful to just memorize common prefixes and suffixes for China city names and then play mix and match...

I do that, but it didn't help much on this one. I knew one was Tian-something, but I couldn't get Tiananmen Square out of my head. Never heard of the second Chinese city.

It might have been a deliberate decision to forgo the t. Some people can't handle the t. In which case forgoing the t might have been a wise decision. ;)

American "metropolitan areas" exaggerate "urban" population over such an enormous area full of rural area and distinctly separate urban settlements you'd think we were looking at equally silly statistics of Chinese city limits.

Yes, Tampa, I'm looking at you because I've looked at you in person and it's not impressive.

This is true to some degree. Although there is some sort of rationale. It's based on commuting, which is generally done over a longer distance in the U.S. due to car culture.

That makes a lot of sense. Americans are used to driving long distances. I know many who commute upwards of 90 minutes every day in each direction to get to work or school. And American cities are so spread out with so many living in distant suburbs that it feels normal to drive 40 minutes or an hour to get somewhere.

Compare this to attitudes I regularly encounter overseas, where people are not as dependent on cars or don't have them, and it seems like people have a much lower threshold for what they consider to be "far away." I've had this conversation so many times with people in other countries: "why don't you come over?" "no! It's so far!" "what? you can walk here in 15 minutes or get here by taxi in 5! What are you talking about??" "nooo. It's faaar." The only place I've been that is similarly spread-out and car-centric is probably Saudi Arabia.

Before someone takes offense at the above characterization: I never said it's like this in *your* country.

Australia is similarly spread out and car-centric. Our cities tend to have very low population densities as a result. I'm sure someone coming from Asia or Europe would consider my house to be rural, but by all Australian accounts it's in a capital metro area.

What's really weird is Taizhou which apparently didn't make this list. Citypopulation.de does list Taiyuan as being bigger but Wikipedia (yeah I know) has Taizhou as significantly bigger in terms of prefecture-level city total population. Weird thing is that the Wikipedia article cites back to Citypop and both cite back to the 2010 census so ... (shrugs).

A lot of city-based Chinese administrative areas are much bigger than the actual urban area. Probably the most famous example is Chongqing, which has over 30 million in its Municipality, but nowhere near that in the actual urban area. Of course sometimes it's the other way around, with urban areas crossing administrative boundaries - such as in the Guangzhou/PRD conurbation - but either way, I wouldn't use Municpality, Prefecture or any other administrative boundary when it comes to defining Chinese cities.

I'm Chinese and I know how confusing this is. In China a "prefecture-level city" is not a city, but really a prefecture, i.e. a larger urban area together with many smaller ones and all the rural areas in between. More confusingly, "prefecture-level city" is commonly abbreviated "city" instead of "prefecture"...

Accept "Toshkent" for Tashkent,
