Random China Address Generator
Get 1 to 15 fictional addresses in China, written in Chinese characters with street, city, province and a 6-digit postal code, each with a copy button.More Address & Postal Code Generators
The Random China Address Generator produces between 1 and 15 fictional Chinese addresses per press, each on a card with a copy button. Every address is written in Chinese characters and follows one line format: a building number and street, a city, a province-level region, a six-digit postal code, and "China". A typical result looks like "723 邵 路, 深圳市, 广东省 707538, China". The addresses are generated on the fly rather than drawn from a stored list, so you will not see the same one twice.
These are dummy addresses. The street is a random Chinese name plus a street suffix, the postal code is six random digits, and the city and province are chosen independently, so a line may pair Shenzhen with Shanxi. That is fine for what most people want from a china address generator: filling required address fields on a form, seeding a test database or populating a design mock-up with text that looks like a real Chinese address and is not one.
What each part of the address is
| Part | How it is generated | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Street line | A building number (1 to 5 digits), then a Chinese surname (王, 李, 张, 刘, 陈) or given name (志强, 致远), a space, and a street suffix, usually 路 (road), 街 (street), 巷 (lane) or 桥 (bridge) | 80919 姚 巷 |
| City | Either one of 40 real cities (北京市, 上海市, 广州市, 深圳市, 成都市, 杭州市, 武汉市, 西安市, 南京市, 重庆市 and 30 more) or an invented city name built from a prefix, a given name and usually a suffix ending in 市 | 成都市, or 赵口市 |
| Province-level region | One of 34 real province-level names: the provinces (省, including 台湾省), the autonomous regions (内蒙古, 新疆, 宁夏, 广西省, 西藏 as the locale spells them), the four municipalities (北京市, 上海市, 天津市, 重庆市) and 香港 and 澳门 | 山西省, 新疆, 上海市 |
| Postal code | Six random digits, the same length as real Chinese postal codes | 986023 |
| Country | Always "China" | China |
How real Chinese addresses are written
If you need the output to pass as authentic to a Chinese reader, know the real convention and adjust.
- Order is largest to smallest. A Chinese address is written province, city, district, road, building number, then the recipient: 广东省深圳市南山区科技路12号. The generator's line runs the other way (street first) because it uses the Western comma-separated form that online forms expect. Reverse the parts if you are writing on an envelope.
- Districts matter. Real urban addresses include a district (区) or county (县) between the city and the road. The generator does not add one.
- Postal codes are six digits and geographic. The first two digits identify the province (10 is Beijing, 20 is Shanghai, 51 is Guangdong's Guangzhou area, 61 is Sichuan), the next two the postal region, the last two the delivery office. Generated codes are random, so a 707538 will not match a 广东省 line. Use a real one if a form checks the code against the province.
- Municipalities double as provinces. 北京市, 上海市, 天津市 and 重庆市 are cities at province level, which is why they can appear in the province slot of a generated address with a different city in front of them. In a real address they would appear once.
- Phone numbers. Mainland mobile numbers are 11 digits starting with 1 (13x, 15x, 18x are the common prefixes), and the country code is +86, if you are building a full fake profile.
Ways people use it
- Testing forms with non-Latin input. CJK characters, mixed-width digits and long province names break naive validation, so a batch of 15 Chinese addresses is a good stress test for an international checkout.
- Seeding demo data. A user table for an app with a Chinese market needs addresses that look right in a screenshot.
- Fiction and localization drafts. A plausible street and district-free city line for a character in Chengdu, without pointing at a real household.
- Learning the format. Seeing the suffixes 路, 街, 巷, 市 and 省 in context is a quick way to learn how Chinese addresses are put together.
For the neighboring special administrative region, the Random Hong Kong Address Generator produces English-format addresses. Other countries with their own formats include the Random Australia Address Generator, Random Canada Address Generator, Random Mexico Address Generator and Random Address in France.

Frequently asked questions
- Are these real addresses in China?
No. The provinces and many of the cities are real, but the street names and building numbers are random, the postal code is six random digits, and the city and province are not matched to each other. Do not use them for shipping, identity checks or registration.
- Does the address include a postal code?
Yes. Every address ends with a six-digit postal code before the country name. It has the correct length for a Chinese postal code but is random, so it will not correspond to the province on the same line.
- Why are the addresses in Chinese characters rather than pinyin?
Because that is how addresses are written in China. The generator uses a Chinese locale for the street, city and province names. If a form needs Latin characters, transliterate the line or use the Hong Kong generator, which outputs English.
- How many China addresses can I generate at once?
Between 1 and 15 per press. Because the addresses are assembled randomly rather than drawn from a list, every press gives new ones.
