01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Changzhi (Yuncheng Shi)—699,514, 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.
