The "banners" of Inner Mongolia are at the same administrative level as the "counties" of other provinces, and they are all county-level administrative districts. However, the title "Qi" originated from the Eight Banners system during the Qing Dynasty and has strong historical and national characteristics. Inner Mongolia's flags are mainly distributed in areas inhabited by Mongolians, reflecting the country's special policy towards minority areas.
Other county-level administrative regions at the same level as the banner include:
