Cities outside Japan that have nicknames in Japanese. Ex: ロス, 桑港

San Francisco 桑港 or Soko and Los Angeles ロス have nicknames in Japanese; both of these are technically abbreviations. Are there any other cities that get this treatment? I'm especially curious about cities that have kanji nicknames.

Note, I think mostly 桑港 isn't used that much anymore and it's just called サンフランシスコ but Soko is preserved in a lot of business names and such.
