Cool quiz. The only thing that confused me was trying to remember how to spell Ulaanbaatar.

Surprised Kaohsiung is Manila. I saw that one, guessed a couple southern Chinese cities, and quickly noped out.

It's the other way around. Manila is one of the most isolated cities and its nearest city is Kaohsiung.
