List of villages in China  This is a list of villages in China. A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town, with a population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. In China, an administrative village () is a type fifth-level administrative division, underneath a township, county, city, and province. There are more than six hundred thousand administrative villages in China. Some villages are not administrative villages but natural villages, which are not administrative divisions. The below list is divided by province, and ideally lists the name of the village followed by the three higher-administrative divisions (e.g. township, county, and city) to which it belongs administratively. In addition to villages, a "gaqa" (, ᠭᠠᠴᠠᠭ᠎ᠠ) is another type of fifth-level administrative division, found only in Inner Mongolia; the name is derived from the Mongolian language. Most counties in Hainan are not subordinate to a prefecture-level subdivision (see List of administrative divisions of Hainan), and so some entries below list only the town and county-level divisions to which the village belongs.
