Administration
edit
The prefecture-level city of Laiwu administered two county-level divisions, both of which were districts.
- Laicheng District (莱城区; 萊城區)
- Gangcheng District (钢城区; 鋼城區)
They were further divided into 19 township-level divisions, including 14 towns, one townships and four subdistricts.
Since the 1st January, 2019, Laiwu was merged into Jinan which is the capital city of Shandong province, and is no longer a prefecture-level city any more.
