From Quiz
World Cities

3. What major Chinese port city, whose history goes back over 2,000 years, is also known as Canton?

From Quiz Ships Ahoy!

Answer: Guangzhou

The capital of the province of Guangdong, in southern China, Guangzhou is located in the Pearl River Delta, one of China's wealthiest and most populous regions; nearly 15 million people live in its urban area. The English name "Canton" comes from the Portuguese pronunciation of Guangdong. The city was established in 214 BC, under the Qin Dynasty, with the name of Panyu. Though initially meant as a military base, it soon became a thriving commercial centre, which in the Middle Ages attracted numerous foreign traders and craftspeople - making the most of its strategic location as a terminus of the Maritime Silk Road. In the 14th century, famed Moroccan traveler Ibn Battuta visited the city, and described its large shipyards in detail in his account of his journeys around the Old World. During the rule of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), foreign trade was severely limited; the city, however, flourished again as an international trade centre and major port in the 18th century, with the advent of the Qing Dynasty - becoming the main hub for the export of tea and porcelain. Under the Canton System, implemented in 1757 and abolished in 1842 as a consequence of the First Opium War, all China's trade with the West was concentrated in Canton. The city suffered during the Chinese Civil War and the Cultural Revolution, with many of its historic buildings destroyed, but between the 1980s and the present, thanks to building programs and tax reforms, Guangzhou has expanded its boundaries, and its population has grown. Though Guangzhou's importance as a port has been somewhat overshadowed by Shanghai and neighbouring Hong Kong, the city still retains its status of major entrepôt, or transshipment port. The three cities listed as wrong answers are also part of the group of nine leading cities known as the National Central Cities; of these, however, only Tianjin is a seaport.

In 2016, "U.S. News & World REport" named Denver as the best place to live in the United States. Dallas is a huge metropolis in central Texas. Dayton housed the Wright Brothers in western Ohio and Downey is the name of three small towns in California, Idaho and Iowa.

The river is also in Belarus, Ukraine and Slovakia. The Vantaa River flows into the Gulf of Finland at Helsinki, the capital city of Finland.

8. New York City is perhaps the best example of the newer city being more famous than the city it's named after (In this case York, England). However New York was also previously know as New Amsterdam. What year did New Amsterdam give way to New York?

From Quiz "New" City, Old Place, Same Name

Answer: 1664

Non-native settlement of the New Netherlands began in 1613 when a Dutch fur trapper based himself there. A permanent settlement was established in 1623 on Governor's Island. In 1625 Fort Amsterdam was built on lower Manhattan and the name was changed to New Amsterdam shortly thereafter. In 1647, Peter Stuyvesant became last Director-General of New Netherland but he was unable to gather support when, in 1664, the English troops demanded the colony and hence, promptly named it New York after the English Yorkshire city. It was surrendered without bloodshed. It was seized back by the Dutch in 1673 but retained by the British in 1674. New York was briefly the national US capital in 1776. Its English namesake has been settled since Roman times (71 BC) and was known then as Eboracum. It was known as a railway hub and confectionery manufacturing centre but this evolved into a tourist, health care and university city. Its most notable landmarks are the superb Gothic Cathedral, York Minster, which can trace its history back to the eighth century, and The Shambles which is an old street in the city centre, with overhanging buildings that almost touch each other from either side of the street.

Rockefeller Center is a complex of nineteen high-rise buildings that officially opened in 1933. It's a hub for art, shopping, and entertainment. I took lots of beautiful cityscapes from the Top of the Rock. From up there you can see the most famous park in New York, which is of course, Central Park. It has its own attractions, including Central Park Zoo, which has an indoor rainforest and a polar bear pool.

10. Which large city in the British Isles was founded by the Romans more than 2,000 years ago?

From Quiz Major Cities of the World

Answer: London

London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom. Located on the river Thames in the south east of the country, London was founded by the Romans when they invaded the British Isles more than 2000 years ago. Before that event took place, the city we know as London was nothing more than a few scattered huts here and there on the estuary of the Thames, in a way of life that had existed since approximately 4500 BC. Under Roman rule though, that scattered settlement grew to be a thriving city of some 60,000 people. With a population of over eight and a half million people, London is considered one of the world's leading finance centres. Sites to see around this beautiful and fascinating city with such a glorious history include the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, the Royal Observatory, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace and a host of other history related locations.

11. Which Scandinavian city was founded by King Gustav of Sweden in 1550 with the intent that it become a major world city to rival Reval of the Hanseatic League?

From Quiz "H" World Cities

Answer: Helsinki, Finland

The settlement that became Helsinki failed at first as people struggled to get out of poverty after a series of plagues ravaged the city for decades. Reval, now called Tallinn, Estonia, greatly overshadowed Helsinki until Finland was taken over by Russians and the Finnish capital was moved to Helsinki in 1812.

12. Which state capital is larger in area than the state of Rhode Island, named after a gold prospector and is only accessible by boat or plane?

13. Which Ukrainian city shares its name with a delicious garlic butter chicken dish and is home to Dovzhenko Film Studios, one of the major movie studios of the former Soviet Union?

From Quiz "K" World Cities

Answer: Kiev

Kiev has a long history since its founding in 482 AD. Although the name of the dish would suggest that chicken Kiev was invented in Kiev, it is not clear and Russians claim the it was introduced first in Moscow. Dovzhenko Film Studios is named after the Ukrainian producer Alexander Dovzhenko. Once the Soviet Union fell, the studio slowed production down significantly until the late 2000s when it rebooted with digital films.

Answer: Bangladesh

Located in southeastern Bangladesh, on the mouth of the Karnaphuli River, which forms a natural harbour near the Bay of Bengal, Chittagong (officially Chattogram) is one of the world's oldest ports. This large city is the busiest international seaport on the Bay of Bengal, and also the largest base of the Bangladesh Navy and Coast Guard. The Bengali name of the city, Chattogram, is believed to mean "village of the lamp" (probably related to the spread of Islam in the area in the 9th century), while the name "Chittagong", according to a widespread legend, comes from Arakanese (a language closely related to Burmese), and means "to make war is improper". What is now Chittagong was already known as an important seaport in ancient times, appearing on the world map compiled by Roman geographer Claudius Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD. Other famous travelers of the Middle Ages, including Ibn Battuta, commented about the site's beauty, its fertile surroundings, and impressive natural harbour. Medieval Chittagong, which was part of the Sultanate of Bengal, was a hub for trade of valuable goods with other parts of Asia and East Africa, as well as an important shipbuilding centre. In the mid-16th century, Chittagong ended under Portuguese control, and over a century later was conquered by the Mughal rulers of Bengal. At the end of the 18th century, the city, like the rest of Bengal, was taken over by the British East India Company. World War II took a heavy toll on the city, and even worse damage came with the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971: at the end of the war, the Soviet Navy took almost a year to clear the harbour of mines. Now Chittagong has regained at least part of its status, generating a substantial share of Bangladesh's national GDP. An ethnically diverse city, Chittagong is plagued by widespread poverty and environmental issues, many of them related to its controversial ship breaking industry.
