Notes
- ^ administrative divisions differ from those in provinces administered by the People's Republic of China. PRC once treated the claimed official borders and divisions of the Taiwan Province of People's Republic of China as a mirror of those of the ROC Taiwan Province before 1949, and displayed them on maps as such. However, as of 2018, PRC official map service Tianditu treats all six special municipalities as prefecture-level cities, all three provincial cities as county-level cities directly administered by the province, and all fourteen county-administered cities as subdistricts under each individual county's jurisdiction.
- ^ Parishes of Macau). Parishes in Macau are purely symbolic entries, it no longer has any legal status.
- ^ a b c d Ili (itself a prefecture with sub-provincial status) contains 2 other prefectures: Tacheng and Altay. Ili also directly controls 2 county-level cities, 7 counties, and 1 autonomous county, like a normal prefecture does. Tacheng and Altay is counted in Xinjiang's total number of prefectures here.
- ^ A combination of 4 former prefectures:Chongqing, Fuling, Wanxian (now Wanzhou) and Qianjiang, all of them belonged to Sichuan Province.
