If you also want to change the symbol and color of Cities, what can you do? Unlike Administrative boundary that has Polygon data structure, Cities has point data structure.

The procedure is almost the same because ArcGIS can automatically recognize the data structure:

1. In the left panel, that is table of content of the layers; do right click on layer Cities . A pop up menu will be shown.
2. Click on the pop up menu: Properties
3. In the Layers Properties dialog, choose Symbology Tab
4. Select Show> Features > Single Symbol
5. Click Symbol button and symbol selector dialog will be shown.
6. Select any symbol. For example, I choose green star symbol to represent cities
7. Optionally, you may change the color, size or angle
8. Click OK button
