Learn Provinces and Capitals of China | China Country Map | Provinces Of China

In terms of area, China is the third-largest country in the world, but it is the world's largest based on population. China is divided into 23 provinces, 22 of which are controlled by the People's Republic of China (PRC). The 23rd province, Taiwan, is claimed by the PRC, but it is not administered or controlled by the PRC and is thus a de facto independent country. Hong Kong and Macau are not provinces of China but are called special administrative areas. Hong Kong measures 427.8 square miles (1,108 square kilometers), with Macau at 10.8 square miles (28.2 square kilometers). The provinces are ordered here by land area and include capital cities.
