I set myself the goal of getting everything over 5 million this time around. Zhengzhou and Wenzhou were my downfall. It amazes me that China has so many massive cities that metropolises as big or bigger than Sydney or St Petersburg can fly under the radar.

If anyone is interessted; if you add up all these numbers you get to a total of 1.000.360.000 people living in these 200 cities with an average of 5.001.800 people per city. Yes, I know I'm a numbers geek.

If you type in random sequences of letters that end in -zhou, you're bound to get almost 25% of Chinese cities. Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Wenzhou, Lanzhou, Zhengzhou, Changzhou, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Suzhou...
