China Province-Level Division Capitals Quiz

Practice China province-level division capitals by matching each province-level unit to its city seat. Start with the easy same-name anchors Beijing-Beijing, Tianjin-Tianjin, Shanghai-Shanghai, Chongqing-Chongqing, Hong Kong-Hong Kong, Macau-Macau, then move to large non-matching pairs such as Guangdong-Guangzhou, Sichuan-Chengdu, Hubei-Wuhan, Shaanxi-Xi'an, Xinjiang-Urumqi, Tibet-Lhasa, Inner Mongolia-Hohhot, Jiangsu-Nanjing. The quiz works best after map practice because each capital should connect to a coastal, central, western, municipality, autonomous-region, or SAR location.
