Town (China)

When referring to Political Divisions of China, town is the standard English translation of the Chinese (simplified: ; pinyin: zhèn; Wade-Giles chen4). It is smaller in population and more remote than a township (乡; pinyin: "xiāng").

However, the ROC official translation, both "xiāng" (鄉) and "zhèn" (鎮) are translated as "townships", with "zhèn" specifically being "urban" township, 'with "'xiāng" specifically translated as "rural" township
