The goal of WikiProject Chinese provinces aims primarily to standardize entries of the province-level divisions of the PRC. It is likely not going to cover Macau and Hong Kong as those are covered by WikiProject Countries.

(Note that in this example the notice has been classified as "NA", so that it will not appear on the list of unassessed articles. This will not happen normally if the above code is used.)
For the infobox, don't forget to replace the "_" with the name of the article being converted. For the table, replace the X's with the proper information.
Note: These guidelines are flexible and are not meant to be perfectly followed or strictly enforced. Use whatever works best for each article.

List of county-level divisions
This should be a separate article because the size of this table is huge (except for the municipalities and Hainan).
There are two conflicting styles currently in use: examples are List of administrative divisions of Hebei and List of administrative divisions of Hunan. (See [1]for another design.) Unless the two styles are reconciled it is hard for any more tables to be made. You are welcome to make comments or suggestions in the talk page.
For conventions on how to name the counties, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese).

Stereotypes
Stereotypes form an important part (perhaps the only part) of the impressions Chinese people have about provinces. But these are also dangerously POV. So please phrase these NPOVly. Besides, it is important to use correct and clear adverbial modifiers in the description, so as to keep incorrect or outdated stereotypes from spreading further. For example, the sentence
In the first several years of the 21st century there was a widespread stereotype in China that people from Henan were liars and cheats...
is much more accurate than
In recent years it has become popular in China to stereotype people from Henan as liars and cheats...
