01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Fuzhou (Fujian)—3,740,000, 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: capital city of Fujian province, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Fuzhou (Fujian) is GeoNames ID 1810821. Its recorded administrative path is Fuzhou Shi → Fujian → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Fuzhou appears on 2 separate GeoNames rows in this atlas, so the qualifier “Fujian” and numeric ID prevent those places from being merged. The city row itself was updated 2026-04-13; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
