Is Jiyuan, Henan a prefecture-level city or a county-level city?

1 Henan has jurisdiction over 18 cities, including 7 prefecture-level cities and 0 county-level cities. (Jiyuan City)

45 counties, 5 counties (cities) directly administer key counties.

Jiyuan city is higher than the county directly under the jurisdiction of the province!

The administrative level of Jiyuan City is now a sub-prefecture-level city, but institutions and officials at all levels are allocated according to prefecture-level cities. In fact, it is no different from other prefecture-level cities in Henan Province, and all policies in the province treat it as a prefecture-level city. Can be said to be a de facto prefecture-level city, but the State Council did not give it a formal title.

In Henan, Jiyuan and other 17 prefecture-level cities are generally called provincial cities. The difference between a city under the jurisdiction of a province and a city directly under the jurisdiction of a province is that a city directly under the jurisdiction of a province only enjoys the authority of some prefecture-level cities, and the actual administrative level is still at the county level. Jiyuan city, on the other hand, has all the authority of a prefecture-level city, and the actual administrative level is not at the county level. Jiyuan City has independent Jiyuan Intermediate People's Court and Jiyuan Branch of Henan Provincial People's Procuratorate.

Because his area code is still the same as Jiaozuo's, it was originally from Jiyuan. But outside the area code, the rest are basically directly managed by Henan Province. For example, he has his own brand Yu U, Jiaozuo is Yu H, and a sub-prefecture-level city has the same treatment as a general prefecture-level city, except that there are no counties below. Other cities directly under the provincial government in Henan are still bound by the higher-level prefecture-level cities, but some are under the provincial control.
