Why is the largest municipality with 38 districts and counties often considered to be a province?

As we all know, there are many large and small cities in China, and the positioning level of each city is different. Generally speaking, prefecture-level cities have several districts, and the more districts a city has under its management, the more developed the city is. However, municipalities such as Beijing and Shanghai, which have jurisdiction over many districts, are also called municipalities directly under the central government, and municipalities have always been one of the most important cities in the country, occupying a very important position in all aspects of the country, and often have a large number of residents within their jurisdiction.

So among the four municipalities directly under the central government in China today, do you know which municipality is the largest? After all, Beijing is the capital, but in fact, the largest municipality in China is Chongqing, which governs 38 districts and counties, but is often mistaken for a province.

Chongqing, also known as "Ba" or "Chongqing", is located in southwest China, in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. In 1996, with the incorporation of Fuling City and Qianjiang City, Chongqing then officially became the fourth municipality directly under the central government in China. Now Chongqing is already a national central city, a national economic, scientific and technological innovation and shipping center, as well as the country's most important modern manufacturing base and a transportation hub in the southwest.

After Chongqing became a municipality directly under the central government, it constantly adjusted the administrative division under its jurisdiction. Until today, Chongqing has a total of 38 districts and counties, with a total area of 10,000 square kilometers. There may be some small partners who have no concept of land area, then we can convert with several cities that are also municipalities directly under the central government, in terms of land area, Chongqing is equivalent to 13 Shanghai, 7 Tianjin, 5 Beijing.

With such a large area comparable to a province, it's no wonder it's often mistaken for a province.

As the only municipality directly under the central government in the southwest, Chongqing's tourism industry is booming and has become an Internet celebrity city, attracting countless young people to come here. There are many tourist attractions here, such as Hongya Cave, Liziba Light Rail, Wulong Tiansheng Three Bridges, Garden Expo Park, etc., and the most famous of them is Hongya Cave, Hongya Cave was originally a city gate of ancient Chongqing, and now it is located in the area of the Liberation Monument Pale Road. The Hongya Cave built along the mountain and the water, under the illumination of the light, is very beautiful and moving, and the stilted buildings stacked together are perfectly integrated with the lights, and the Bayu style is full of characteristics.

The largest municipality with jurisdiction over 38 districts and counties, this place is the largest municipality in China, Chongqing. The area of Chongqing is as large as the size of a province, so it is often mistaken for a province.

China's largest municipality is Chongqing, Chongqing has 38 districts and counties under its jurisdiction, with a total area of square kilometers, there may be small partners who have no concept of land area, then we can convert with several cities directly under the central government, in terms of land area, Chongqing is equivalent to 13 Shanghai, 7 Tianjin, 5 Beijing This large area is completely comparable to the province, no wonder it is often mistaken for a province.

The largest municipality is Chongqing, Chongqing has a very large area, a very developed economy, and a very good tourism industry, which has become an Internet celebrity city, so it is often regarded as a province.

The largest municipality directly under the central government with jurisdiction over 38 districts and counties is Chongqing Municipality in China, because the area under his jurisdiction is particularly wide, and the land area is particularly large, and the development of tourism is also relatively good.

The largest municipality with jurisdiction over 38 districts and counties is Chongqing, which is so large in size and population that it is often mistaken for a province.

Because Chongqing has a total land area of 10,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 13 Shanghai cities, 7 Tianjin cities, and 5 Beijing cities, Chongqing is often regarded as a province, and Chongqing is also a large population city.

Municipalities directly under the central government are originally at the same level as provinces, and autonomous regions are also at the same level as provinces, but they have changed their names.

38 districts and counties! No wonder the GDP is so high! There are many people and the land is wide! It can be divided into four or five prefecture-level cities!

Originally, the province was called a municipality directly under the central government, and everything can be flexible for the Chinese.

Districts and counties are not necessarily the same level, districts are very special units, they are just a name, not a basic unit, so the level is uncertain. Some districts are at the same level as the county, while others are not, and the districts of municipalities directly under the central government are generally at the prefecture level, which is higher than the county level.

Difference Between District and County:

1. There are differences in authority due to different levels of subordination.

2. The urbanization process of the district is faster than that of the county, and the proportion of non-agricultural population is higher.

3. The economy of the district is more developed than that of the county.

4. The public infrastructure in the district is relatively perfect.

Compared with counties, the significant feature of the district is that it is the core component of the main body of the city (i.e., the urban area) and the center of regional development. The residents are mainly urban population, and the urbanization is generally at a high level, with a high population density and a relatively concentrated floating population. The economy is relatively developed, and the proportion of the tertiary industry is generally high; Social, cultural, financial, and other relatively prosperous societies.

The counties and districts of municipalities directly under the Central Government are county-level administrative regions in terms of administrative divisions. At the level of cadre leadership, the counties of the municipalities directly under the Central Government are generally at the level of deputy departments, and the districts of the municipalities directly under the Central Government are at the level of the departments and departments. However, some counties now also belong to the department level, such as Chongming County in Shanghai, where the cadres are assigned at the department level.

Some districts are sub-provincial, such as Pudong District in Shanghai and Binhai New Area in Tianjin.

However, now there are no counties in Beijing and Tianjin, and Chongqing has counties, but Chongqing is special, and Chongqing's counties are at the department level.

The four municipalities directly under the central government in China are directly subordinate to the leadership of the government and belong to the provincial-level administrative regions, and the districts and counties under the jurisdiction of the general government belong to the prefecture-level administrative regions. There is no difference between the districts and counties under the jurisdiction of municipalities directly under the Central Government in terms of administrative level, and they belong to administrative regions at the level of departments and departments (except for special ones). For example, the districts under the jurisdiction of Beijing belong to the department level, and the counties under the jurisdiction of the former also belong to the department level.

In the seventies and eighties of the last century, there may have been a situation where the administrative level of the county was "half a grid" lower than that of the district, but this problem no longer exists. Generally speaking, the administrative level of districts and counties under the jurisdiction of municipalities directly under the Central Government is at the level of department and department. The administrative level of prefecture-level cities under the jurisdiction of the province is also the level of the main department, and in terms of administrative level, the two are the same.

However, Shanghai's Pudong New Area is sub-provincial, Tianjin's Binhai New Area is sub-provincial, and Chongqing's Liangjiang New Area Management Committee is sub-provincial (not an actual municipal district). Therefore, there are still differences between the districts and counties of municipalities directly under the Central Government and the municipalities under the jurisdiction of provinces in terms of administrative level. At present, in addition to Chongqing, Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin no longer have counties directly under the central government, and the counties have also withdrawn from the stage of history, thus ending the history of counties under the jurisdiction of the city.

Districts and counties are not the same, and generally speaking, the "district" of a municipality is one level higher than the "county".

1. The "districts" under the jurisdiction of municipalities directly under the Central Government are: prefecture-level (main hall);

2. The "counties" under the jurisdiction of municipalities directly under the Central Government are: deputy prefecture and city level (deputy department);

Note: The level of the townships (streets) under the districts and counties is degraded by this decreasing;

In addition, some people think that it is a high "half level", but in fact, it is wrong, in the administrative system level, a level is a level, there is no such thing as a half level;

It is at the prefecture level, and the level of the municipality directly under the central government is the same as that of the province, and the city below the province is equal to the district and county under the municipality directly under the central government.

No. It is said to be''area''than''County''Half a level.

Municipalities are provincial-level administrative units, just like the provincial level.

1. Provincial-level administrative units are the highest level of local administrative regions under the jurisdiction of the People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of China, currently including: 23 provinces, 5 autonomous regions, 4 municipalities directly under the Central Government, 2 special administrative regions, and 1 Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.

There are currently 35 provincial-level administrative units in China.

2. Municipalities directly under the Central Government, i.e., municipalities directly under the Central Government, are directly under the jurisdiction of the people. It is a large city with a relatively concentrated population and a particularly important position in politics, economy, and culture.

At present, China has 4 ** municipalities: Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Chongqing.

3. The province is the highest level of local administrative region in China, which is under the jurisdiction of the people. It began in the Yuan Dynasty. So far.

Six or seven hundred years of history.

At present, there are 23 provinces in China: Heilongjiang Province, Jilin Province, Liaoning Province, Hebei Province, Henan Province, Shandong Province, Shanxi Province, Anhui Province, Jiangxi Province, Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, and Taiwan Province.

Guangdong Province, Hunan Province, Hubei Province, Hainan Province, Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province, Sichuan Province, Qinghai Province, Gansu Province, Shaanxi Province.

Municipalities directly under the Central Government, provinces, and autonomous regions are all provincial-level administrative units at the administrative level, and in principle they are at the same level. However, under normal circumstances, the secretary of a municipality directly under the Central Government is concurrently a member of the Political Bureau, while the secretary of a province and autonomous region is only a member or alternate member, so the secretary level of the municipality directly under the Central Government is higher than that of the secretary of the province or autonomous region, which is equivalent to the fact that the secretary of the municipality directly under the Central Government is higher than that of the province and the autonomous region.

The secretary of the municipality directly under the central government is the same as that of other provinces and self-administrative levels, but the secretary of the municipality directly under the central government is generally a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (deputy national level), and the secretary of the provincial party committee is only a member of the first committee, and the secretary of the party committee of some provinces, such as the secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, is concurrently a member of the Political Bureau. In terms of administration, they are basically the same, they all belong to the provincial-level administrative divisions, and their leaders are provincial and ministerial-level cadres, the difference is that the leaders of the municipalities directly under the central government will concurrently serve as members of the Politburo, except for Guangdong and Xinjiang, the leaders of other provinces generally do not concurrently, and the leadership of the municipalities directly under the central government has a higher status within the party.

It is also obvious that the jurisdiction area of a province is generally larger than that of a municipality. The level of the municipality directly under the central government and the province is the same, but the level of the secretary of the municipal party committee of the municipality directly under the central government is higher than that of the general secretary of the provincial party committee, and the member of the ** political bureau (deputy national level) is concurrently served.

Yes, municipalities and provinces are all first-level administrative regions in China, and both have the same administrative level!

Provincial municipalities, that is, cities under the jurisdiction of provincial-level administrative regions, prefecture-level cities and county-level cities directly under the provincial government are provincial municipalities.

Legal concept: In China's current administrative divisions, prefecture-level cities and "county-level cities directly under the provincial government" are generally considered to be provincial municipalities. However, legally, the county-level cities led by prefecture-level cities are directly under the jurisdiction of provinces and autonomous regions, and the prefecture-level cities are under the custody of prefecture-level cities, and the administrative offices of regions and leagues are the dispatched organs of the people of provinces and autonomous regions.

Municipalities directly under the Central Government: Municipalities directly under the Central Government are one of the administrative divisions of China, the level of administrative divisions is the same as that of provinces, autonomous regions and special administrative regions, and is a provincial-level administrative region of the People's Republic of China.

Municipalities in Chinese mainland include: Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Chongqing.

China implements a four-level administrative system: ** - province - city, county - township.

Municipalities directly under the jurisdiction of the municipality as a provincial-level administrative unit, and municipalities directly under the jurisdiction of the province.

Cities are divided into sub-provincial cities, prefecture-level cities, and county-level cities

At present, there are 15 sub-provincial cities in the country (including 5 cities with separate planning): Harbin, Changchun, Shenyang, Jinan, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, Xi'an, Dalian, Qingdao, Ningbo, Xiamen, and Shenzhen. Among them:

Dalian, Qingdao, Ningbo, Xiamen and Shenzhen are cities with separate plans.

A prefecture-level city is a temporary administrative unit between the province and the districts and counties, and at present, the prefecture-level city manages a part of the districts and counties on its behalf, which should have been directly managed by the province, and the state is also promoting development in this regard, that is, the counties and districts directly under the jurisdiction of the province.

A county-level city is a city equivalent to an administrative level of a county or district, and a county-level city is at the same level as a district or county at the administrative level. Then, county-level cities and districts and counties are directly under the control of streets and townships. Village committees and neighborhood committees are not administrative units.

Municipalities directly under the central government, sub-provincial cities, prefecture-level cities, county-level cities, the administrative differences between them are:

Municipalities directly under the Central Government [provincial level], sub-provincial cities (cities with separate planning), [sub-provincial level] prefecture-level cities, Qinqi [prefecture and department level], county-level cities [county and department level].

If a municipality directly under the Central Government is a provincial-level administrative unit, then the districts and counties under its jurisdiction are department-level administrative units, and the townships and townships under the jurisdiction of the county and the sub-district offices under the district are department-level units.

Except for the 15 sub-provincial-level cities, the municipalities under the jurisdiction of provinces (autonomous regions) are generally department-level units. Therefore, the districts and counties under the jurisdiction of municipalities directly under the Central Government are actually equivalent to ordinary prefecture-level cities, because they are all administrative units at the department level. A county-level city may be a department-level unit or a deputy department-level unit, depending on the specific region and relevant circumstances, and its "number one" may be at the deputy department level, or it may only be at the department level.

Prefecture-level cities are standard department-level units, and their "top leaders" are at the department level, and some provincial capitals or special cities have their "top leaders" at the deputy ministerial level; The sub-provincial city is a standard sub-provincial unit, and its "first leader" is the vice ministerial level; Municipalities directly under the Central Government are provincial-level units, and their "top leaders" are at the vice-national level.

The concept of municipality zoning

Municipalities directly under the central government belong to the provincial administrative units, and are directly under the management of the provincial administrative units.

The People's Republic of China has four types of provincial-level administrative units: provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government and special administrative regions, of which there are four municipalities directly under the Central Government: Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Chongqing.

As an administrative unit, municipalities have different definitions in different countries, even in the municipalities directly under the central government in Chinese mainland, and the "courtyard municipality" of Taiwan Province is different, the basic definition is that an ordinary administrative unit (see special administrative region for details), the area can be as small as a people**, a city, a town, or even a village, but for most countries, municipalities must basically have their own election mechanism, so as to elect the leaders of the municipality.

Municipalities directly under the Central Government in China are the highest administrative units like provinces, autonomous regions, and special administrative regions, so their administrative status is the same as that of provinces, but their jurisdictional areas are the same as prefecture-level cities, districts, counties, autonomous counties, etc.
