01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Mengzi—595,100, 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.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Mengzi is GeoNames ID 13512502. Its recorded administrative path is Honghe Hanizu Yizu Zizhizhou → Yunnan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Mengzi 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 2026-04-10; 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, Mengzi ranks 940 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 259; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 509. Its 595,100 population value is 0.51 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.59 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Mengzi sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Mengzi's recorded value is materially below the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Mengzi's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Kunming at 197.636 km with 3,855,346 recorded people; Qujing at 238.718 km with 1,408,500 recorded people; Jianshui at 241.701 km with 490,000 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 44.065 km. Compared with Kunming, Mengzi's recorded population is 0.15 times as large. Against Mengzi, Kunming follows Kunming Shi → Yunnan → China in the source.

Its recorded population is above Mengzi's. Against Mengzi, Qujing follows Qujing Shi → Yunnan → 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 populated place rather than second-order administrative seat.

Its recorded population is below Mengzi's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 989 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Mengzi'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 13512502, the coordinate pair 23.3678 / 103.3821, country rank 259 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1804651 at 197.636 km bind Mengzi to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Mengzi's reference point is 23.3678° north and 103.3821° 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. Mengzi's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Mengzi's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Mengzi's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Mengzi, 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.
