China Administrative Divisions Lookup

China Administrative Divisions Lookup: Core Features and Principles

When you need to quickly obtain the administrative hierarchy, geographic coordinates, or contact information for a specific region in China, traditional methods often require checking multiple disconnected databases. Using the structured coding system (GB/T 2260 standard), this tool allows you to simply enter a region name to retrieve its complete hierarchical information, 6-digit zip code, 4-digit area code, and WGS84 latitude and longitude coordinates.

Why Choose Our China Administrative Divisions Lookup?

• Covers 5 administrative levels: From the provincial level down to the village committee level, with clearly marked hierarchical relationships.
• 15+ data dimensions: Includes practical fields such as administrative codes, geographic coordinates, and contact details.
• Smart fuzzy matching: Supports partial name searches (e.g., searching "Haidian" will match "Haidian District").

How to Use

1. Enter the target region name in the search box (e.g., "Chaoyang District").
2. Optional: Limit the search level using numbers 1-5 (1 for Province → 5 for Village).
3. Click search, and the results table will display the complete administrative division chain, zip code, area code, and coordinates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I find the parent city and province information for a specific township?
A: Search for the township name directly. The parentId field in the results represents the code of its parent administrative unit. You can use this code to trace the complete administrative chain.

Q: How many decimal places are the latitude and longitude coordinates accurate to?
A: We provide 5-decimal-place precision (approximately 1-meter accuracy), sourced from the latest public datasets of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Important Notes

• Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan use separate coding systems.
• Districts and counties under direct-administered municipalities are directly linked to the municipal-level code.
• For areas where counties were upgraded to districts after 2020, please use the new names for your search.

Technical Notes & Recommendations

For GIS system developers, we recommend building an administrative tree structure using the parentId field. Typical example: Searching for "Yuhang District" returns parentId=330100 (Hangzhou City). Searching for 330100 then returns parentId=330000 (Zhejiang Province), forming a complete administrative chain.
