01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Ganzhou—1,977,253, 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: prefecture-level city in Jiangxi, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Ganzhou is GeoNames ID 1810638. Its recorded administrative path is Ganzhou Shi → Jiangxi → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Ganzhou 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 2025-12-15; 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, Ganzhou ranks 204 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 68; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 123. Its 1,977,253 population value is 1.70 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.96 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Ganzhou falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Ganzhou's recorded value is above the country-cohort median but remains below twice that benchmark. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Ganzhou's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Ji'an at 141.352 km with 538,699 recorded people; Shaoguan at 178.704 km with 1,028,460 recorded people; Chenzhou at 190.169 km with 822,534 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 48.817 km. Compared with Ji'an, Ganzhou's recorded population is 3.67 times as large. Against Ganzhou, Ji'an follows Ji'an Shi → Jiangxi → 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 Ganzhou's. Against Ganzhou, Shaoguan follows Shaoguan Shi → Guangdong → China in the source. 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 Ganzhou's. Against Ganzhou, Chenzhou follows Prefecture of Chenzhou → Hunan → China in the source.

Its recorded population is below Ganzhou's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 851 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Ganzhou's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the wider half 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 1810638, the coordinate pair 25.8466 / 114.9326, country rank 68 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1806445 at 141.352 km bind Ganzhou to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Ganzhou's reference point is 25.8466° north and 114.9326° 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. Ganzhou's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Ganzhou's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Ganzhou's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Ganzhou, 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.
