History

On May 12, 2020, the Sichuan provincial government announced that Baiya Township would be abolished, and merged into the town of Muma.[2]

Administrative divisions

In 2019, Baiya Township administered the following eight administrative villages:[3]

  • Yunding Village (Chinese: 云顶村)
  • Liuqing Village (Chinese: 柳青村)
  • Xinmiao Village (Chinese: 新庙村)
  • Jingquan Village (Chinese: 井泉村)
  • Hongliang Village (Chinese: 红梁村)
  • Gongtong Village (Chinese: 共同村)
  • Qingping Village (Chinese: 青坪村)

Demographics

According to the 2010 Chinese Census, Baiya Township had a population of 4,341.[4] This figure was a significant decline from the population of 6,967 recorded in the 2000 Chinese Census.[4] This decline is likely due to, in part, the effects of the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake, which seriously affected Jiange County,[5] as well as rural flight common throughout China.
