Firaxis seems to have lots of trouble with Chinese city names. They used several province names, were quite inconsistent with pronounciations, and created many duplicates.
Compare your list with mine, then suggest changes.
Chang An: If you talk about the capital of the Chinese civilization, no other city will ever beat Chang An, which is what Xian was previously called.
Luo Yang: This city is second in importance in Chinese history.
Beijing - Bei Jing
Shanghai - Shang Hai
Kanton - Guang Zhou
Nanking - I would call it Jian Kang, or its modern version Nan Jing.
Hongkong - Hong Kong
Xian - It's replaced by Chang An.
Tsingtao - Qing Dao
Xinjian - There is no such city or province in China
Taipeh - OK
Chengdu = Cheng Du
Hangzhou - Hang Zhou
Tientsin - Tian Jin
Tatung - Da Tong
Macao - Throw out this city, it has very little importance in China.
Fushun - Fu Shun
Sian - Sian is Xian is Chang An.
Anyang - An Yang was the capital of the first dynasty in China
Shantung - This is a province name.
Taiyuan - Tai Yuan
Mukden - It's Shen Yang. Mukden is probably used by the Japanese and would insult any Chinese gamer.
Kuangchuan - There is no such city or province in China.
Wuhan - I would use Wu Chang here.
Yang - Yang Zhou
Liaojang - Liao Yang
Chinan - Ji Nan
Lanzhou - Lan Zhou
Kaifeng - Kai Feng. You may want to place it higher in the list as it's a stragetically important city in China.
Kunming - Kun Min
Kueilin - Gui Ling
Shengjang - It's the same as Mukden and Shen Yang
Changchun - Chang Chun
Anshan - An Shan is hardly a major town in China.
Ningsia - Again, a province name. Yin Chuan is the provincial capital.
Ningpo - Ning Bo
Paoting - Bao Ding
Tainan - Tai Nan
Yünnan - Maybe it means Yunnan, a province?
Loyang - same as Luo Yang
Chiangling - Jiang Ling
Suzhou - Su Zhou
Zhangjiakou - Zhang Jia Kou
Qingdao - already listed
Taichung - OK
Wuxi - Wu Xi
Fuzhou - Fu Zhou
Chiao - Qiao is only a county, but birthplace of the GL Cao Cao.
Gejiu - ????
Wei - Ye Cheng
Harbin - OK
Xuzhou - Xu Zhou
Yangchow - same as Yang Zhou
Luda - Da Lian
Baotou - OK
Chongqing - Chong Qing
Kaohsiung - Gao Xiong
Guiyang - Gui Yang
Xining - OK
Hohhot - OK
Yumen - OK
Haikou - OK
I would add the following more cities:
Nan Yang
Xu Chang
Chao Ge
Gong Yang
Tian Shui
Zhen Ding

Yes, because a Chinese city usually have 2 characters, and I think each of them should be represented by an English word.
But if you feel comfortable writing the other way, that's fine, too.

Hi guys,
I just thought I'd clear up the Chinese city listing, as there are still a few errors. (I hope you don't mind).
Here is my list, marking changes you might want to make:
Beijing
*Chang'an (you need the apostrophe)
*Luoyang (spelling error)
Shanghai
Guangzhou
*Jiankang (if you wanted to call it Nanjing no one would complain)
*Hong Kong (traditionally these are two separate words in English)
*Qingdao (not Tsingtao)
Kaifeng
*Taipei (not generally spelled as Taipeh)
Chengdu
Hangzhou
*Tianjin (not Tientsin)
*Datong (not Tatung)
Fushun
Anyang
Taiyuan
*Shenyang (spelling error)
Wuchang
Yangzhou
*Liaoyang (spelling error)
Jinan
Lanzhou
*Kunming (spelling error, I'm 100% sure it's not Kunmin)
*Guilin (I've been there, it's Guilin not Guiling)
Changchun
Ningbo
Baoding
Tainan
Jiangling
Suzhou
Zhangjiakou
Taichung
Wuxi
*Fuzhou (see below)
*Yechang (as far as I can tell, Yechang is the old name for Fuzhou so one of these should be removed)
Harbin
Xuzhou
Dalian
Baotou
Chongqing
Kaohsiung
Guiyang
Xining
Hohhot
Yumen
Haikou
Nanyang
Xuchang
Chaoge
* (I deleted Gongyang because I couldn't find anything about it - though maybe someone else could enlighten me)
Tianshui
Zhending
Some other additions I thought would be nice:
Ürümqi
Changsha
Jilin
Anshan
Nanning
Shenzhen
Hopefully this is useful and not troublesome for you, Wernazuma III!

Zulu: Minor complaint. i don't know much bout their cities but Great Zimbabwe was a Monomotapan / Rozwi city and capital. They were enemies of the Zulu but I don't think the Zulu ever took the city.
I wouldn't worry too much. the only reason i changed it in my gane is because I added the Monomotapans. For African civs I usually crack open the atlas and pull out similar sounding city and town names from the area the empire covered. Resources on African civs are so rare.
China: Hong Kong isn't a city but an area. The major cities are Xiang Gang (Victoria) and Kowloon.
Xinjiang: in my atlas is a small town on the Fen river south of Taituan and n/e of Xi'an.
