Address format An address written in Chinese will start with the biggest geographical component (the
province) and end with the smallest one (the addressee). However, the name of the
country of destination must be written in an internationally known language.
For the same Chinese address written in the Roman (Latin) alphabet, the format will be
used from the smallest geographical component at the top to the biggest at the bottom.
