A very small bone to pick:
For this sentence【Autonomous Prefectures are very similar to Prefecture-Level Cities, except that they are focused on a specific ethnic minority that has a high concentration in that area.】there are actually 10 Autonomous Prefectures simultaneously dedicated to two ethnic groups, list can be found here zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%…

There are no Autonomous Prefectures for three or more ethnic groups.
Also for the super nerdy (might be more suitable for Part II?), ever wondered why the five Autonomous regions are named slightly different? The standard composition should be [region]+[ethnic group]+[autonomous region], i.e. 宁夏回族自治区 （Ningxia Hui ethnic group autonomous region）and 广西壮族自治区 (Guangxi Zhuang ethnic group autonomous region). BUT Xizang (Tibet) and Neimenggu (Inner Mongolia) are just 西藏自治区 (Xizang autonomous region) and 内蒙古自治区（Inner Mongolia autonomous region）, that's because the name of the ethic group (藏，蒙) is already embedded in the regional names, so they dropped the ethnic part altogether. 新疆维吾尔自治区 （Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region）left out the word 族 or ethnic group because 族 is usually left out in autonomous regions of ethnic groups with 3 or more characters in their names. the same for 柯尔克孜，哈萨克 etc.
