Jiayuguan District, Gansu Province

Municipal district is one of the administrative divisions in China. Its administrative status is the same as that of county-level cities, counties, autonomous counties, banners, autonomous banners, special zones and forest areas. It is a county-level administrative region under the jurisdiction of prefecture level cities and municipalities directly under the central government.

In the developed areas of our country, the districts under the jurisdiction of municipal districts are mainly streets, while in the process of industrialization and urbanization, the districts under the jurisdiction of municipal districts are mainly towns and townships.

There are 976 municipal districts in China.
