Chengdu is not located within a single district; rather, it is a major sub-provincial city and the capital of Sichuan Province that is administratively divided into multiple districts, county-level cities, and counties. As of 2023, the Chengdu administrative area consists of 12 districts: Jinjiang, Qingyang, Jinniu, Wuhou, Chenghua, Longquanyi, Qingbaijiang, Xindu, Wenjiang, Shuangliu, Pidu, and Xinjin. Among these, the five central urban districts are Jinjiang, Qingyang, Jinniu, Wuhou, and Chenghua, with the municipal government seat specifically located in the Wuhou District. In addition to these districts, the prefecture-level city of Chengdu also governs five county-level cities, including Dujiangyan and Jianyang, and three counties: Jintang, Dayi, and Pujiang.
