Our country is vast and vast, and there are countless cities, except for some famous large cities, many small and medium-sized cities are relatively little known, and even some we have never heard of, let alone know their specific locations.
Each city has its own unique name, but due to the sheer number of cities, it is inevitable that there will be some cases of the same name. Today, let's sort out the cities with the "same name" phenomenon across the country.
The limited scope is at the county level and above, and the municipal districts are not considered first, because there are too many municipal districts with the same name across the country, and the Gulou District alone is too numerous to mention.
However, the "same name" mentioned here refers to the same pronunciation but different glyphs of the city, up to now, there is no county-level city with the same phonetic name in the country, and the state has also specially avoided this kind of situation when setting up place names.
Still, the cities with the same pronunciation but different glyphs can be a bit confusing, so let's take a look at them and remember not to make a mistake when riding in the car.
