Abstract: Abstract From the perspective of region economics, this paper makes the comparison on regional advantages and the selection of the regional center city between sixteen provincial capital cities in the Central, Northwest and Southwest Region in China, by exploiting AHP and constructing the index system with twelve secondary indexes on the five factors of geography location, traffic facilities, economics, population and human capital. The following research conclusions are drawn. First, in Central Region, Wuhan, having the highest composite score, should be selected as the regional center city. Second, although it is not located the geographical center in the Northwest Region, Xi’an has the highest composite score and each secondary index is highest, which should be selected as the regional center city. Third, in Southwest Region, Chongqing should be selected as the regional center city.
