01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Baoshan (Shanghai)—2,265,900, 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 Baoshan (Shanghai) is GeoNames ID 1816917. Its recorded administrative path is Shanghai → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Baoshan appears on 2 separate GeoNames rows in this atlas, so the qualifier “Shanghai” and numeric ID prevent those places from being merged. The city row itself was updated 2026-03-31; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
