    I believe that you are pronouncing the name of the city incorrectly. It should be pronounced ChongChing. When the Chinese use western letters to spell a word with a Q that is not followed by a U , it is pronounced like a CH. I have visited the Chinese city named Qinzhou many times. It is pronounced as it were spelled Chinzhou. Excellent video. I enjoyed it.
