Chinese Cities with Over a Million Population

22. Bijie - 1,275,300

There are 6 sub-districts, 27 towns, 2 townships, and 6 ethnic townships under the administration of Bijie City.

On 10 November 2011, Bijie Prefecture was converted to a prefecture-level city, and the former Bijie City was rechristened Qixingguan District. Government officials hope that Qixingguan will become a distribution centre for all of Southwest China and a base for new industries and tourism.
