Jinjiang

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Jinjiang is GeoNames ID 1797658. Its recorded administrative path is Quanzhou Shi → Fujian → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat.

Jinjiang 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, Jinjiang ranks 351 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 114; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 205.

Its 1,416,151 population value is 1.22 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.40 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Jinjiang sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort.

Jinjiang's nearest-coordinate gap falls between the tightest tenth and quarter of the atlas. 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 1797658, the coordinate pair 24.8198 / 118.5742, country rank 114 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1797353 at 10.531 km bind Jinjiang 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

Jinjiang's reference point is 24.8198° north and 118.5742° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA3 is shared by 60 rows. Jinjiang's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

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