01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Laibin—910,282, 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 Laibin is GeoNames ID 1804609. Its recorded administrative path is Laibin Shi → Guangxi → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Laibin 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, Laibin ranks 607 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 190; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 353. Its 910,282 population value is 0.78 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.90 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Laibin sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Laibin'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.
Laibin's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Liuzhou at 66.806 km with 1,436,599 recorded people; Guigang at 79.834 km with 1,086,327 recorded people; Nanning at 138.802 km with 3,839,800 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 71.996 km. Compared with Liuzhou, Laibin's recorded population is 0.63 times as large. Against Laibin, Liuzhou follows Liuzhou Shi → Guangxi → China in the source. Its point has higher 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 Laibin's. Against Laibin, Guigang follows Guigang 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 the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Laibin's. Against Laibin, 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 Laibin's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 534 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Laibin'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 1804609, the coordinate pair 23.7474 / 109.2222, country rank 190 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1803300 at 66.806 km bind Laibin to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Laibin's reference point is 23.7474° north and 109.2222° 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. Laibin's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Laibin's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Laibin's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Laibin, 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.
