↑The term "city" used here is a translation of a Chinese administrative level that originally referred to major markets. It does not refer to a single city covering all of the archipelago's islands but to a particular level of autonomy and privileges enjoyed by the prefectural government on account of its relative urbanization. Another prefecture-level "city" consisting entirely of islands is Hainan's Sansha Prefecture.
