01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for New Taipei City—4,004,367, Asia/Taipei, 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 New Taipei City is GeoNames ID 12908892. Its recorded administrative path is New Taipei City → Taipei → Taiwan, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. New Taipei City 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 2025-02-24; 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, New Taipei City ranks 81 by recorded population. Inside the 6 selected Taiwan entries it ranks 2; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 52. Its 4,004,367 population value is 1.43 times the 2,793,973 median for the country cohort and 3.97 times the 1,008,426 regional median. New Taipei City is rank 2 among the 6 selected Taiwan entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. New Taipei City's recorded value is above the country-cohort median but remains below twice that benchmark. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

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 12908892, the coordinate pair 25.0620 / 121.4570, country rank 2 of 6, and neighbor GeoNames 1670029 at 5.404 km bind New Taipei City to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
New Taipei City's reference point is 25.0620° north and 121.4570° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Taipei is shared by 6 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. New Taipei City's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. New Taipei City's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. New Taipei City's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for New Taipei City, 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.
