Municipality is also referred to as a prefecture level city (地级市). Most of Chinese big cities belong to this variety.
A prefecture-level municipality is subject to the juridiction of a provincial government ,and directly controls some urban districts while overseeing some counties or smaller cities on behalf of the provincial government.
Thus it's normal to see a large City (a Municipality) have juridiction over some small cities in China.

Ordos, located in the southwest of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regions and the heart of Ordos Plateau, is connected to Hohhot, Shanxi, Baotou and Bayannaoer respectively in the east, north and west, and to Yulin in Shaanxi Province in the south; Ningxia Autonomous Region and Alashan Meng are across the river.







Thus Ordos Prefecture stretches to the cities of Wuhai in the west, Alxa in the northwest, Bayan Nur in the north, Baotou in the northeast, Hothot in the east, and to Shaanxi Province in the south and Ningxia in the southwest. In all, Ordos Prefecture comprises some 86,750 square kilometers. The prefecture is comprised of a high plateau at its center, which stretches westward, sandy deserts in the north and south - albeit, the northernmost part of the prefecture, where it is demarcated by the Yellow River, is a grassy plain - and in the east, the prefecture is characterized by hilly terrain.







Ordos, or Erdos, as it is called in Mongolian - a name that means "many palaces" - is a city/ prefecture in the middle of the southwestern half of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (Inner Mongolia, for short) that shares a common border to the south with Shaanxi Province. Inner Mongolia lies roughly on a northeast-southwest axis. The prefecture of Ordos spans most of the Ordos Plateau, which is the area of the southern part of Inner Mongolia that is wedged between the great bend of the Yellow River to the north, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (Ningxia, for short) to the southwest, and Shaanxi Province to the south. The border which separates Inner Mongolia (and most of the Ordos Plateau) from the two aforementioned adminstrative entities follows roughly the route of the Great Wall in this part of China.







Climatic Features: Ordos belongs to typical temperate continental climate with clear four seasons and abundant sunshine. The rainfall is infrequent and mainly concentrates on the period between July and September. Spring is the season often blowing sand and dust storm.
