Sub-prefecture-level city
*** Shopping-Tip: Sub-prefecture-level city
{{PRC divisions levels}}
A '''sub-prefecture-level city''' (副地級市), or '''vice-prefecture-level city''', is an administrative division of China. A sub-prefecture-level city is officially considered to be a county-level city, but it has more power ''de facto'' because the cadres assigned to its government are all half a level higher than they normally would be, though still less than a prefecture-level city.
While county-level cities belong to prefecture-level divisions, sub-prefecture-levels are often administered directly by the province, with no intervening prefecture level.
Examples of sub-prefecture-level cities include Jiyuan ( Henan province), Xiantao, Qianjiang, Hubei Qianjiang and Tianmen ( Hubei), Golmud ( Qinghai), Manzhouli ( Inner Mongolia), Shihezi Shihanza, Tumushuk, Alar, Xinjiang Alar, and Wujiaqu ( Xinjiang).
