Great Job!
Too bad Beijing isn't in Fiji!!
Excellent riddle.
Excellent riddle.
Cool! I never noticed that.
good one!
Beijing is, indeed, the only major city with three dotted letters, but not the only city or town.
Shijiazhuang is a city 280kms away from Beijing, which also has three dotted letters in a row.
And a few thousand people live in the town of Ujiji in Tanzania, which boasts an impressive 4 consecutive dotted letters.

Cool. I didn't know that.
I got it. Don't ask me how, but I did.Dumb luck, I guess.Good teaser.
sorry but i think you could of done better...that was a made up teaser from a kindergardener..
I'm with puttumup
Good one. I had Fiji and stopped thinking . . . but I coulda gotten Beijing. ha ha
I stink at Geography. I thought of Fiji but nothing else. Would that have worked ?? I'd like more of these. I could learn something. a sucker for info. Good!!
A Good one! Even though I had thought of Fiji, I had never tried to check some of cities around the China area. Keep up the great work! Don't pay attention to a few of the other constant *run down the teaser* comments made by put and others.
Ditto doehead (again)
good one it had us thinking, keep them coming
Hurray, I got it! Nice little trivia question.
For those that asked- Fiji doesn't work because it isn't a city.
Regarding the nasty comments- if you find them offensive, mark them as such. If they're just annoying, then ignore them. I do.

I didn't think this one was too easy, or too hard. Once I realized it had to have an iji in it , it was relatively easy, but I loved it. Keep up the good work, we need all the brain workouts we can get.
why does is say "this is offensive" under everyones name?
great trivia. learned some new things today.
Does Pyhäjärvi, Finland count?
Shikamaru,
If someone says something mean or rude, you can report their comment as "offensive" by clicking the "This is Offensive" link.

Shijiazhuang, China has 3 dotted letters too...
Perhaps say "which is the only capital"
I liked it...but as everyone else was saying, more specification would have been nice.
I don't know what kindergarteners some of you hang around with--they sound pretty smart to me! (A fromer kindergarten teacher)
Good teaser! Adds a little variety and originallity.

Excuse me--I meant a "former" kindergarten teacher, and I wasn't putting down the children of that age. I just meant I don't believe this teaser can be considered a kindergarten question.
Pretty Good!
I like it!
Beijing, Ujiji, Lijiang, and if fiji wasn't an island I'd add it to the list.

I must be a little slow- I guessed Hawaii!
Huh. Ya learn something new everyday.
Good one, I guessed Beijing, but it was really just luck - I hadn't even made sure of it when I checked the answer!
easy, got it and loved it
very good, good any more?
Keep 'em coming

Excellent teaser; very creative. Keep up the awesome work!
Great teaser! At first I was worried it would be something foreign to me it: German, Finnish, etc. Thank you!
Nice job. I think everyone has heard of Beijing, but am not sure about the others. More please?
