Laiwu (simplified Chinese: 莱芜; traditional Chinese: 萊蕪; pinyin: Láiwú) was a prefecture-level city in central Shandong Province, China. Bordered the provincial capital of Jinan to the north, Zibo to the east and Tai'an to the southwest, it was the smallest prefecture-level city in the province. It had a population of 1,298,529 as of the 2010 census, all living in the built-up (or metro) area made of 2 urban Districts and became part of Jinan in 2019.[1]
Administration[]
The prefecture-level city of Laiwu administered two county-level divisions, both of which were districts.
- Laiwu District (莱城区; 萊城區)
- Gangcheng District (钢城区; 鋼城區)
They were further divided into 19 township-level divisions, including 14 towns, one townships and four subdistricts.
Since the 1st January, 2019, Laiwu has become a district of Jinan which is the capital city of Shandong province, and is no longer a prefecture-level city any more.
