China is officially (de jure) divided into 34^[a] province-level administrative divisions, the first level of administrative division in the country. There are four types of divisions at the province level:

• Provinces (23)
• Autonomous regions (5)
• Municipalities (4)
• Special Administrative Regions (SARs; 2)

Province-level divisions can trace their origins back to the Yuan dynasty. The political status of Taiwan Province, as well as small portions of other provinces, are disputed.
