Prefecture-level cities form the second level of the administrative structure (alongside prefectures, leagues and autonomous prefectures). Since. The rank of a district derives from the rank of its city. Districts of a municipality are prefecture-level Prefecture, in the context of China, is used to refer to several unrelated political divisions in both ancient and modern China; districts of a sub-provincial city A sub-provincial city, similar to a prefecture-level city, is not "city" in the usual sense of the term , but instead an administrative unit comprising, typically, a main central urban area (a city in the usual sense, with the same name as the sub-provincial city), and its much larger surrounding rural area containing many smaller cities, are sub-prefecture-level; and districts of a prefecture-level city are county-level In the context of Political divisions of China, county is the standard English translation of Xiàn . In the People's Republic of China (PRC, commonly known as China or Mainland China), counties are found in the third level of the administrative hierarchy in Provinces and Autonomous regions, and the 2nd level in municipalities and Hainan province,.

They may be the residential areas of a city, or separate residential communities within commuting distance of a city. Some suburbs have a degree of political autonomy, and most have lower population density than inner city neighborhoods. Modern suburbs grew in the 20th century as a result of improved in order to ensure a large supply of food or raw materials. As a result, districts were also mostly urban or suburban in nature.
After the 1980s, prefectures Prefecture, in the context of China, is used to refer to several unrelated political divisions in both ancient and modern China began to be replaced with prefecture-level cities A prefecture-level city or prefecture-level municipality is an administrative division of the People's Republic of China, ranking below a province and above a county in China's administrative structure. Prefecture-level cities form the second level of the administrative structure (alongside prefectures, leagues and autonomous prefectures). Since. From then on, "cities" in mainland China became just like any other administrative division, containing urban areas, towns, villages, and farmland. These cities are subdivided into districts, counties A county is a land area of local government within a country. A county may have cities and towns within its area. Originally, in continental Europe, a county was the land under the jurisdiction of a count (conte, comte, conde, Graf), autonomous counties There are 117 autonomous counties and 3 autonomous banners. The latter are found in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the former are found everywhere else. The two are essentially identical except in name, and county-level cities A county-level city is a county-level administrative division of mainland China.

The size a settlement must be in order to be called a "town" varies considerably in different parts of the world, so that, for example, many American "small towns" seem to British people to be no more than villages, while many British "small towns& and townships A township is the basic level (fourth-level adminstrative units) of political divisions in China. They are similar to municipalities and communes in other countries and in turn may contain village committees and villages. In 1995 there were 29,502 townships and 17,532 towns (a total of 47,034 township-level divisions) in China under them governing rural areas.
