The administrative seat and urban center of Danzhou is Nada Town, which is often colloquially referred to as Danzhou city. Danzhou was upgraded from a county-level city into a prefecture-level city in February 2015.
Subdivisions
Danzhou has direct jurisdiction over 17 towns (镇 zhen), one state-run institute, and four state-run farms plus an economic development zone.
