Hainan Province uses a slightly different administrative system from the other provinces of China. Most other provinces are divided entirely into prefecture-level divisions, each of which is then divided entirely into county-level divisions. County-level divisions generally do not come directly under the province. In Hainan, nearly all county-level divisions (the four districts excepted) come directly under the province. This method of division is due to Hainan's relatively sparse population.
The political divisions of Hainan are:
- Two prefecture-level cities:
- Haikou City (海口市 Hǎikǒu Shì), subdivided into four county-level districts:
- Longhua District (龙华区 Lónghuá Qū)
- Xiuying District (秀英区 Xiùyīng Qū)
- Qiongshan District (琼山区 Qióngshān Qū)
- Meilan District (美兰区 Měilán Qū)
- Sanya City (三亚市 Sānyà Shì)
- Haikou City (海口市 Hǎikǒu Shì), subdivided into four county-level districts:
- Sixteen county-level divisions directly under the province, with no intermediate prefecture level:
- Six county-level cities:
- Four counties:
- Lingao County (临高县 Língāo Xiàn)
- Chengmai County (澄迈县 Chéngmài Xiàn)
- Ding'an County (定安县 Dìng'ān Xiàn)
- Tunchang County (屯昌县 Túnchāng Xiàn)
- Six autonomous counties:
- Changjiang Li Autonomous County (昌江黎族自治县 Chāngjiāng Lízú Zìzhìxiàn)
- Baisha Li Autonomous County (白沙黎族自治县 Báishā Lízú Zìzhìxiàn)
- Qiongzhong Li and Miao Autonomous County (琼中黎族苗族自治县 Qióngzhōng Lízú Miáozú Zìzhìxiàn)
- Lingshui Li Autonomous County (陵水黎族自治县 Língshuǐ Lízú Zìzhìxiàn)
- Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County (保亭黎族苗族自治县 Bǎotíng Lízú Miáozú Zìzhìxiàn)
- Ledong Li Autonomous County (乐东黎族自治县 Lèdōng Lízú Zìzhìxiàn)
There is also the Hainan Province Paracels, Spratlys, and Zhongsha Islands Authority, which oversees the South China Sea Islands: the Xisha (Paracel Islands), Zhongsha (Macclesfield Bank), and Nansha (Spratly Islands). The Spratlys are in reality disputed and divided among China and several neighbouring countries, while the Macclesfield Bank is claimed by the People's Republic of China, the Republic of China (Taiwan), and Vietnam, but administered by no one.
The cities and counties of Hainan are divided into 218 township-level divisions, including 181 townships, twenty towns, and seventeen subdistricts.
