China Shaanxi
Location of Shaanxi province in China

Shaanxi is a large province in the People's Republic of China. To help manage everything, the province is divided into smaller areas. Think of it like how your country might have states, then counties, then towns. In China, these divisions have different names.

First, there are province-level divisions, like Shaanxi itself. Then, these are split into prefecture-level divisions. Shaanxi has 10 of these. These prefectures are then divided into 107 county-level divisions. These include 28 districts, 3 county-level cities, and 76 counties.

Finally, these county-level areas are broken down into even smaller township-level divisions. Shaanxi has 1785 of these! They include 917 towns (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Zhèn), 680 townships (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Xiāng), 98 ethnic townships (simplified Chinese: 民族乡; traditional Chinese: 民族鄉; pinyin: Mínzú Xiāng), and 148 subdistricts (Chinese: 街道; pinyin: Jiēdào).
