A Correct answer
Explanation

Shanghai (misspelled as 'Sanghai' in the option) has been called 'Paris of the East', 'Queen of the Orient', and 'Pearl of the Orient' due to its colonial-era architecture, cosmopolitan culture, and economic importance. Hong Kong is sometimes called 'Pearl of the Orient' too, but the other two nicknames are specifically associated with Shanghai. Beijing is the capital and Yunan is a province, not a city.
