From these buildings, you can see the power figure. Beijing's second ring, the most distinctive is a variety of compounds, inside the unfathomable.

China's cities divided into levels:
China's cities are divided into administrative levels, can be divided into: first-class cities, first-class cities are municipalities, and provinces, autonomous regions at the same level, directly under the jurisdiction of the State Council. Second-class cities, second-class cities are municipalities at the regional level, directly under the jurisdiction of the province.
Special administrative regions, and the first level of the city, directly under the jurisdiction of the State Council. The role of city hierarchy is conducive to optimization and management. China has 657 cities, but in the last 10 years of rapid urbanization, the number of cities not only did not increase but continued to decrease. Calculated according to the original standard, the current ratio of large, medium and small cities in China is 1:1.42:0.77, with a small proportion of medium-sized cities and a serious shortage of small cities.
This is neither in line with the pyramid law of urbanization development nor the objective requirements of integrated urban and rural development, and many small towns across the country are not counted as cities, resulting in a variety of development policy restrictions.
After the adjustment of the criteria for determining the size of cities, not only the identification of mega-cities has been added, but also the process of determining the size of cities is no longer bound by the restrictions on the level of cities, and it really relies on the market allocation, and determines the cities according to their carrying capacity and population gathering ability.
After the change in standards, the number of cities in China will increase significantly, and most of the 19,400 organized towns in China are expected to be changed into "cities", which will really form the pyramid structure of city size.
