01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Luzhou—998,900, 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 Sichuan, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Luzhou is GeoNames ID 1801640. Its recorded administrative path is Luzhou Shi → Sichuan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Luzhou 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 2024-11-12; 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, Luzhou ranks 553 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 176; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 322. Its 998,900 population value is 0.86 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.99 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Luzhou sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Luzhou'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.
Luzhou's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Yibin at 77.925 km with 836,340 recorded people; Zigong at 80.57 km with 1,262,064 recorded people; Neijiang at 84.774 km with 1,251,095 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 6.849 km. Compared with Yibin, Luzhou's recorded population is 1.19 times as large. Against Luzhou, Yibin follows Yibin Shi → Sichuan → 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 below Luzhou's. Against Luzhou, Zigong follows Zigong Shi → Sichuan → 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 populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Luzhou's. Against Luzhou, Neijiang follows Neijiang Shi → Sichuan → 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 third-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Luzhou's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 605 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Luzhou'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 1801640, the coordinate pair 28.8903 / 105.4258, country rank 176 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1786770 at 77.925 km bind Luzhou to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Luzhou's reference point is 28.8903° north and 105.4258° 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. Luzhou's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Luzhou's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Luzhou's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Luzhou, 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.
