Autonomous counties () and autonomous banners () are
county-level autonomous administrative divisions of China.
Autonomous counties tend to have a large number of ethnic minority citizens compared to ordinary counties (if not an outright majority), or are the historic home of a significant minority population.
There are 117 autonomous counties and three autonomous
banners. The latter are found in
Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the former are found everywhere else.
