Each answer should accept any large city (say, the 3 or 4 largest, for example) within the agglomeration. The instructions don’t say only the largest city is accepted.

*SPOILER*
For example, the #1 answer is “Guangzhou”, which is really just one of the cities in the Guangdong-HongKong-Macau agglomeration, which also includes Shenzhen, Dongguan, and Foshan (each of which has a population 9,000,000). I entered a few of these cities unsuccessfully. Shenzhen even has a larger population than Guangzhou, according to Wikipedia, but it’s not accepted.

I’ve heard it called the Pearl River Agglomeration, but that doesn’t exactly flow off the tongue. But I do often see it referred to as the Guangzhou urban agglomeration, so this wasn’t just something he made up for the quiz. I think Guangzhou was at one point the larges (or oldest?) of the cities there, probably where that came from.
