Asian Capitals Quiz

Asian Capitals Quiz: From Tokyo to Ulaanbaatar

Asia covers nearly a third of the world's land area and is home to about fifty countries. This Asian capitals quiz walks you through the continent's major cities: Tokyo, Beijing, Seoul, New Delhi, Bangkok, Hanoi, Manila, Jakarta, Riyadh, Tehran. We've also thrown in some less obvious capitals like Ashgabat, Ulaanbaatar, Thimphu, and Bandar Seri Begawan. Ninety verified questions across three levels round out your geography quiz collection on Quizoland.

The Asian Capitals Everyone Knows

Tokyo, Beijing, Seoul, New Delhi, Bangkok: five cities that together are home to over 80 million people. The easy level of this quiz covers these major capitals that the news and geography textbooks have drilled into us since elementary school. You'll also run into Hanoi (Vietnam's capital since 1976), Manila, Tehran, and Riyadh. The wrong answers often play on famous economic hubs — Shanghai, Mumbai, Osaka — that aren't capitals despite their population size.

Central and Southeast Asia: The Real Trap

The medium level brings in the Central Asian capitals: Ashgabat for Turkmenistan, Astana for Kazakhstan (renamed in 2022 after three years as Nur-Sultan), Tashkent for Uzbekistan. On the Southeast Asia side, Kuala Lumpur, Phnom Penh, and Dhaka are classics. Watch out for Sri Lanka: the official political capital is Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, not Colombo. That kind of detail can tank your score right when you thought you had an easy question.
