China Province Boundaries
All 34 province-level divisions in one file, seven formats and one schema, plus the boundary lines China publishes over water as their own layer.
Thirty-four features covering the country at province level: 23 provinces, 5 autonomous regions, 4 municipalities and 2 special administrative regions. The maritime and river boundary lines the source publishes come as their own layer, because a map of China without them isn't complete.
Prefer a slide to a shapefile? The same boundaries are sold as a PowerPoint map at Geoslides: Editable China province map template.
