Autonomous Regions of China are areas designated to provide a degree of self-governance to specific ethnic minorities. There are five such regions: Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Tibet, Ningxia, and Xinjiang. These regions have their own local governments and are intended to preserve the culture and traditions of the ethnic groups living there. Each Autonomous Region has a unique demographic and cultural identity. For example, Tibet is known for its distinct Buddhist culture, while Xinjiang is home to the Uyghur people. Despite their autonomy, these regions are still subject to the laws and policies of the central Chinese government.
