China is officially divided into 339 prefecture-level divisions, which rank below provinces and above counties as the second-level administrative division in the country. Of these, 333 are located in territory controlled by the People's Republic of China, while 6 are located in land controlled by Taiwan.[a]
There are four types of prefecture-level divisions:
- 299 Prefecture-level cities (293 in Mainland China and 6 in the claimed Taiwan Province)[a]
- 30 Autonomous prefectures
- 7 Prefectures
- 3 Leagues
Of these, leagues and prefectures are in the process of being abolished and transformed into one of the other two types of prefecture-level divisions.
