The 34 provinces and regions of China
China has 34 provinces and regions. This page lists all of them.
The table shows the English name first. The Chinese name is accepted as an answer too, and it appears in the second column.
English names and local names
The quiz shows English names, because that is what most players type. It accepts the Chinese name as well.
Accent marks do not matter. The quiz folds accents before it compares, so a name typed without them still counts.
Abbreviations are not accepted. A short code is ambiguous, and one code often matches the start of another name.
About the provinces and regions
China has provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities and special administrative regions. The quiz treats all of them as one set.
A municipality is a city governed directly from the centre. Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Chongqing are the four.
Hong Kong and Macau are special administrative regions. Each keeps its own legal system and currency.
