01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Anshan—1,450,000, Asia/Shanghai, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
Wikidata's localized description: prefecture-level city in Liaoning, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Anshan is GeoNames ID 2038632. Its recorded administrative path is Anshan Shi → Liaoning → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Anshan occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2021-12-13; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Anshan ranks 337 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 109; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 195. Its 1,450,000 population value is 1.24 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.44 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Anshan sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Anshan's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Anshan's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Liaoyang at 22.508 km with 687,890 recorded people; Benxi at 67.38 km with 987,717 recorded people; Panjin at 76.736 km with 1,166,481 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 54.228 km. Compared with Liaoyang, Anshan's recorded population is 2.11 times as large. Against Anshan, Liaoyang follows Liaoyang Shi → Liaoning → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is below Anshan's. Against Anshan, Benxi follows Benxi Shi → Liaoning → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is below Anshan's. Against Anshan, Panjin follows Panjin Shi → Liaoning → China in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is below Anshan's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 280 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Anshan's nearest-coordinate gap falls between the tightest tenth and quarter of the atlas. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 2038632, the coordinate pair 41.1236 / 122.9900, country rank 109 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 2036113 at 22.508 km bind Anshan to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Anshan's reference point is 41.1236° north and 122.9900° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Anshan's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Anshan's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Anshan's place-class field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its time zone is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Anshan, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
