rare! Anhui will give birth to the first prefecture-level city without counties! The city is not Hefei, but Wuhu City.
Wuhu City now administers Wuwei City, Nanling County, Wanlan District, Fanchang District, Jinghu District, Yijiang District and Jiujiang District. In September 2021, the establishment of a city in Nanling County will be submitted to the State Council for approval in due course after being deliberated and approved by the executive meeting of the provincial government and approved by the provincial party committee. It is foreseeable that Wuhu City will become the first prefecture-level city in Anhui Province without a county.
However, Hefei, the capital of Anhui Province, also administers 4 districts, 4 counties and 1 county-level city. In terms of the whole country, each province is the first to have no counties in the provincial capital, and there are even 4 counties in the capital of Anhui Province.
