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.

There are 976 municipal districts in China.
