01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Huaibei—1,113,321, 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 Anhui, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Huaibei is GeoNames ID 1807700. Its recorded administrative path is Huaibei Shi → Anhui → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Huaibei 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 2021-10-18; 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, Huaibei ranks 486 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 155; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 283. Its 1,113,321 population value is 0.96 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.10 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Huaibei sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Huaibei'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.

Huaibei's nearest-coordinate gap sits in the second quarter 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 1807700, the coordinate pair 33.9744 / 116.7917, country rank 155 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1793743 at 41.407 km bind Huaibei to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Huaibei's reference point is 33.9744° north and 116.7917° 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. Huaibei's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Huaibei's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Huaibei's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Huaibei, 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.
