List Of Township-level Divisions Of Beijing
This is a list of township-level divisions of the municipality of Beijing, People's Republic of China (PRC).

District (PRC)
The term ''district'', in the context of China, is used to refer to several unrelated political divisions in both ancient and modern China. In the modern context, district (), formally city-governed district, city-controlled district, or municipal district (), are subdivisions of a municipality or a prefecture-level city. The rank of a district derives from the rank of its city. Districts of a municipality are prefecture-level; districts of a sub-provincial city are sub-prefecture-level; and districts of a prefecture-level city are county-level. The term was also formerly used to refer to obsolete county-controlled districts (also known as district public office).

Before the 1980s, cities in China were administrative divisions containing mostly urban, built-up areas, with very little farmland ...
