In the eighth lesson we will look at the names of some of the more populated and/or famous cities in China.

As mentioned earlier, the concept of hometown and locality is very important in China, generally speaking far more so than the West.

In China, where most of the cities have their own distinct dialect (or even language) and everything depends on networking, social connections, and family, people are less willing to uproot themselves and tend to be very loyal to their place of residence.

In recent years this has been changing, mainly due to large amounts of urban migration from the countryside.
