About random cities in China

This picker maps China's 12 biggest cities onto an interactive 3D globe and chooses one at random with a cryptographically fair spin. The globe rotates to the winner and drops a pin on its exact location — anywhere from Shanghai to Chengdu. Use it for travel brainstorming, geography practice, writing prompts, or settling a friendly "which city?" debate.

China's Great Wall stretches thousands of kilometers across mountains and deserts, one of humanity's most astonishing building feats. The capital is Beijing, and Shanghai is the largest city on this map.
