Tips

culture

Transliteration of Gwadar, the deep-water port leased to and developed by China under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (中巴经济走廊 Zhōng-Bā Jīngjì Zǒuláng) — a flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative giving China access to the Arabian Sea, bypassing the Strait of Malacca.

mistakes

Note the apostrophe: Guādá'ěr (not Guādáěr). Pinyin requires ' before a vowel-initial syllable to avoid ambiguity, same rule as in 西安 Xī'ān.
