01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Huizhou—2,900,113, 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 Guangdong, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Huizhou is GeoNames ID 1806776. Its recorded administrative path is Huizhou Shi → Guangdong → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Huizhou 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 2025-11-01; 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, Huizhou ranks 123 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 46; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 81. Its 2,900,113 population value is 2.49 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 2.88 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Huizhou falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Huizhou's recorded value reaches at least twice the country-cohort median in this snapshot. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Huizhou's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Dongguan at 68.982 km with 9,644,871 recorded people; Shenzhen at 72.278 km with 17,494,398 recorded people; Bao'an at 82.733 km with 4,476,554 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 13.751 km. Compared with Dongguan, Huizhou's recorded population is 0.30 times as large. Against Huizhou, Dongguan follows Dongguan 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 above Huizhou's. Against Huizhou, Shenzhen follows Shenzhen → 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 above Huizhou's. Against Huizhou, Bao'an follows 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 third-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Huizhou's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 554 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Huizhou'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 1806776, the coordinate pair 23.1115 / 114.4152, country rank 46 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1812545 at 68.982 km bind Huizhou to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Huizhou's reference point is 23.1115° north and 114.4152° 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. Huizhou's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Huizhou's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Huizhou's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Huizhou, 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.
