01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Hezhou—1,005,490, 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 Guangxi, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Hezhou is GeoNames ID 7576887. Its recorded administrative path is Hezhou Shi → Guangxi → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Hezhou 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.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Hezhou ranks 549 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 173; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 318. Its 1,005,490 population value is 0.86 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.00 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Hezhou sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Hezhou'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.
Hezhou's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Wuzhou at 106.461 km with 761,948 recorded people; Guilin at 161.039 km with 1,572,300 recorded people; Qingyuan at 168.215 km with 1,738,424 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 61.754 km. Compared with Wuzhou, Hezhou's recorded population is 1.32 times as large. Against Hezhou, Wuzhou follows Wuzhou 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 the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Hezhou's. Against Hezhou, Guilin follows Guilin 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 above Hezhou's. Against Hezhou, Qingyuan follows Qingyuan Shi → Guangdong → 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 Hezhou's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 723 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Hezhou'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 7576887, the coordinate pair 24.4036 / 111.5668, country rank 173 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1790840 at 106.461 km bind Hezhou to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Hezhou's reference point is 24.4036° north and 111.5668° 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. Hezhou's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Hezhou's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Hezhou's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Hezhou, 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.
