Guangyuan

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Guangyuan is GeoNames ID 1806466. Its recorded administrative path is Guangyuan Shi → Sichuan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat.

Guangyuan 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 2024-07-13; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

Population position inside fixed cohorts

Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Guangyuan ranks 1,101 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 283; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 581.

Its 516,424 population value is 0.44 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.51 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Guangyuan sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries.

Guangyuan's recorded value is materially below the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Nearest-reference pattern

Guangyuan's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Bazhong at 107.593 km with 2,712,894 recorded people; Hanzhong at 132.395 km with 1,006,557 recorded people; Mianyang at 152.734 km with 1,550,000 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 45.141 km. Compared with Bazhong, Guangyuan's recorded population is 0.19 times as large. Against Guangyuan, Bazhong follows Bazhong Shi → Sichuan → China in the source. Its point has lower 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 above Guangyuan's. Against Guangyuan, Hanzhong follows Hanzhong Shi → Shaanxi → 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 above Guangyuan's. Against Guangyuan, Mianyang follows Mianyang Shi → Sichuan → 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 third-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Guangyuan's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 726 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Guangyuan'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 1806466, the coordinate pair 32.4420 / 105.8230, country rank 283 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 11995100 at 107.593 km bind Guangyuan to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts

Guangyuan's reference point is 32.4420° north and 105.8230° 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. Guangyuan's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

Guangyuan's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Guangyuan's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Guangyuan, 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.
