Does your city have any nicknames?

My town is the Town of the Horse - it's the racehorse capital of the world.

I don't know about the city I am staying, but my hometown has a nickname of "City of Mountains", as there are many mountains in my hometown as compared to other cities in my country. I didn't know there's such nickname for GuangZhou, thanks for telling us.

My city's name is Las Pinas and it is suppose to be associated with pineapples but i don't see any pineapples around even when we moved in from Manila in the 70's, i found out that people during the Spanish time brought pineapple fibers from nearby provinces, since there are a lot of good embroiders in our city who turned it to beautiful "barongs" similar to what world leaders wore during the last APEC summit, even your president wore one . Our city is also famous for the bamboo organ and they found the word Las Penas inscribed in one of the earliest bells.

Nice!!! My City, in the 18th and 19th centuries, was ruled by kings and they were known as Nawabs!! The main quality associated with a Nawab was the humbleness and politeness in the way and manner of speaking with everyone!! Hence my city is called "The City of Nawabs", as even though there are no nawabs now, the people here still speak to each other with humbleness and politeness in a general scenario!!

I am very proud to say that my city name is SURAT and here most popular business is to prepare diamond and its polishing .so its famous all over world as DIAMOND CITY. I also work in same field.

my city is called "city of Eagles"

The City of Flower? I think I love that nickname for a city. My city does not seem to have a nickname as lovely as that.

Yuexiu Park statue for that nick name ? Our City have many nicknames but I live in different cities

I do not know if Manila have those kinds of names in different cities. Singapore is a city-state. We called this little red dot as "City in a Garden"

Great idea for a discussion! My city (Auckland) is known as "The City of Sails" because nowhere in the world is there such a high percentage of boat owners. (Auckland has a LOT of bays and harbors)

yes....my city too has a nick names one is the diamond city.....as the diamond are being polished here....

I found out so much on my first day..! Well, I live in Ahmedabad, named after Ahmed Shah who founded it. But it is also known (to a few people today) as Gardabad, meaning the city of dust! Mughal Emperor of India gave this name to Ahmedabad (Incidentally, there is one village in Iran having the name Gradabad. During mid-twentieth century, the textile business flourished in the city, earning it the nickname of Manchester of India.
