Hubei province recorded 3.23 trillion yuan in its GDP, growing at 8.1 percent year-on-year, higher than the national average growth rate of 6.7 percent. Hunan province recorded 3.12 trillion yuan in its GDP, growing at 7.9 percent year-on-year, while Hebei province, plagued by capacity-cutting, recorded 3.18 trillion yuan, growing only at 6.8 percent, the same with the previous year.

Guangdong retained its first-place slot with its GDP almost touching the level of eight trillion yuan. The province's GDP, after growing at 7.5 percent over a whole year, stood at 7.95 trillion yuan.

China's western regions, although still lagging in economy scale, led in growth rate.

Northwest China's Tibet autonomous region's GDP amounted to 115.01 billion yuan, the smallest among all 31 provincial regions, but grew at 11.5 percent, the fastest nationwide.

Southwest China's Chongqing municipality's GDP reached 1.76 trillion yuan, up by 10.7 percent year-on-year.
