01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Daxing’anling—520,000, 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.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Daxing’anling is GeoNames ID 12446699. Its recorded administrative path is Heilongjiang → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Daxing’anling 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 2026-04-17; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows.

Daxing’anling's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly.
