Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Guigang is GeoNames ID 1809532. Its recorded administrative path is Guigang Shi → Guangxi → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Guigang 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 2021-10-14; 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, Guigang ranks 495 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 159; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 289. Its 1,086,327 population value is 0.93 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.08 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Guigang sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Guigang's recorded value stays within one quarter of 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
Guigang's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Yulin at 78.196 km with 1,056,743 recorded people; Laibin at 79.834 km with 910,282 recorded people; Nanning at 135.015 km with 3,839,800 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 56.819 km. Compared with Yulin, Guigang's recorded population is 1.03 times as large. Against Guigang, Yulin follows Yulin Shi → Guangxi → 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 third-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Guigang's. Against Guigang, Laibin follows Laibin Shi → Guangxi → China in the source. Its point has higher 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 Guigang's. Against Guigang, Nanning follows Nanning Shi → Guangxi → 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 first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Guigang's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 608 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Guigang'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 1809532, the coordinate pair 23.1160 / 109.5947, country rank 159 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1785781 at 78.196 km bind Guigang 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
Guigang's reference point is 23.1160° north and 109.5947° 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. Guigang's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Guigang's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Guigang's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Guigang, 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.
