When referring to political divisions of China, town is the standard English translation of the Chinese (traditional: ; pinyin: zhèn; Wade–Giles: chen4). The Constitution of the People's Republic of China classifies towns as third-level administrative units, along with for example townships (Chinese: ; pinyin: xiāng).[1] A township is typically smaller in population and more remote than a town.

Similarly to a higher-level administrative units, the borders of a town would typically include an urban core (a small town with the population on the order of 10,000 people), as well as rural area with some villages (; cūn, or ; zhuāng).
