How it's used

Geographic names of Chinese cities are often pronounced differently in Cantonese compared to Mandarin. When referring to cities like 石家莊, ensure you use the Cantonese reading of the characters rather than trying to mimic the Mandarin pinyin pronunciation. It is treated as a proper noun and does not require a measure word when used as a destination or location.

Examples

I will go to Shijiazhuang for a business trip next month.
