I knew this passively, couldn't call it up. Had plenty of time to look it up on the map, (didn't put the answer in tho', messes up the stats doesn't it?)
enjoyed this quiz otherwise, lots of good variety. though there is also the question of taiwan, which u.n. doesn't recognize... and china holds as belonging to it... which is larger than hainan. oh, politics....
Can you accept Hui for Uyghur? While they're not the same, the Hui people are a ethnic group in the northwestern regions who are also adherents of Islam.
The biggest island of The Republic of China is Taiwan, true. For The People's Republic of China, though, that is Hainan. If you have any questions, the United States Navy can answer those. Just saying.
I really feel like Heilong Jiang should be allowed for the river. Makes more sense to use the Chinese name in a quiz about China, rather than the Russian name.
i got 21 out of 22 correct. according to the scoring stats, 16.6% of test-takers got a better score than me. this means they all got a perfect score on this quiz. i seriously doubt this is true, unless a large majority of those who took the test were chinese, which i find very unlikely.
Excellent quiz. I am moving to China in summer and pleased to get these right, although spending a lot of time on JetPunk lately has helped with some of them! I stupidly put dragon for national animal but you allowed it, so thanks!
Like many others have said, this quiz would benefit from the names used in China. Amur is the Russian name of the river, the Chinese name is Heilongjiang (literally "black dragon river"). And in China no one refers to the current Northeast as "Manchuria", we just call it Dongbei (literally "northwest").

"Manchuria" is the Japanese name (from Imperial Japan's occupation). Dongbei (Northeast) is what it's more properly called.
nobody uses amur river in china
