01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Anyang—1,146,839, 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.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Anyang is GeoNames ID 1785294. Its recorded administrative path is Anyang Shi → Henan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Anyang 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 2021-10-20; 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, Anyang ranks 471 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 150; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 274. Its 1,146,839 population value is 0.98 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.14 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Anyang sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Anyang'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.
Anyang's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Hebi at 41.366 km with 634,721 recorded people; Handan at 57.919 km with 1,358,318 recorded people; Puyang (Henan) at 70.474 km with 655,674 recorded people.

Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Anyang's. Against Anyang, Handan follows Handan Shi → Hebei → 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 second-order administrative seat class.

Its recorded population is below Anyang's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 367 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Anyang's nearest-coordinate gap sits in the second quarter of atlas distances. 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 1785294, the coordinate pair 36.0960 / 114.3828, country rank 150 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1808770 at 41.366 km bind Anyang to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Anyang's reference point is 36.0960° north and 114.3828° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Anyang's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Anyang's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Anyang's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Anyang, 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.
