Xinjiang (Uyghur: شىنجاڭ‎, Chinese: 新疆), officially Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, also contains the disputed territory of Aksai Chin, which is administered by the People’s Republic of China in the northwest of the country. Xinjiang is the largest Chinese administrative division and the 8th largest country subdivision in the world, spanning over 1.6 million sq. km.

Xinjiang is divided into fourteen prefecture-level divisions: 2 prefecture-level cities, 7 prefectures, and 5 autonomous prefectures, including the sub-provincial autonomous prefecture of Ili, which in turn has two of the seven prefectures within its jurisdiction (for Mongol, Kirgiz, Kazakh and Hui minorities). These are then divided into 11 districts, 22 county-level cities, 62 counties, and six autonomous counties. Seven of the county-level cities do not belong to any prefecture, and are de facto administered by the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.
