Chinese writes everything with characters, including the names of foreign cities, countries, and other entities. This means you have to know the characters in order to read or write about the place you are thinking of. So below is a lengthy list of foreign place names in Chinese. It's arranged in alphabetical order for the place name in English (or the Roman alphabet anyway). The Chinese characters are given in simplified form.
