It's 旧金山 (jiu jin shan), but otherwise you're right.



And in case anyone was wondering, the "New Gold Mountain" is another name for Melbourne[0].

The Melbourne Gold rush was in the 1850s-1860s so the "new" part has become inaccurate.

See also: "New Forest", England, 1079.

It also happened just a few years (very much less than a decade) after the California Gold Rush, and there were other gold rushes after that, so I'm not sure why it's "new" either.


啊呀, it seems I wasn't awake enough yet when posting. Thank you for the correction.
