The adminitrative division form of Turpan is Municipality, which is one of the four administrative divisional forms at the the second level of China local administrative division system .
Municipality is also referred to as a prefecture level city (地级市). Most of Chinese big cities belong to this variety.

Thus it's normal to see a large City (a Municipality) have jurisdiction over some small cities in China.
