Which is ok? 1. My hometown is Hangzhou, Ningbo. 2. My hometown is in Hangzhou, Ningbo.

Question

Answer

You don’t need “in”.

I am confused, aren’t Hangzhou and Ningbo different cities in Zhejiang?

Answer

“My hometown is”,  “My home is in”, “I live in”.

Answer

It is still correct. For instance I am from a city named Provo, in the state of Utah. It’s fine to say, “my hometown is in Provo, Utah.”

Answer

Actually, both are correct. Native English speakers would use either of those ways to say that.

Answer

My hometown is Hangzhou.
