Abstract
Selecting 403 national characteristic towns as research samples, then according to their functions and properties, all the national characteristic towns are divided into four types: historical and cultural, characteristic industry, leisure tourism and resource endowment type. The spatial distribution types, equilibrium degree and spatial agglomeration areas of various types of Characteristic Towns in China are studied by using the nearest neighbor index, geographic concentration index and kernel density, and exploring the spatial distribution rule of different types of characteristic towns, in order to provide reference for the classification and construction of regional characteristic towns.
