01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Panjin—1,166,481, 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 Panjin is GeoNames ID 10794003. Its recorded administrative path is Panjin Shi → Liaoning → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Panjin 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 2026-04-17; 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, Panjin ranks 460 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 148; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 269. Its 1,166,481 population value is 1.00 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.16 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Panjin sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Panjin'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.
Panjin's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Panshan at 7.733 km with 625,040 recorded people; Yingkou at 52.442 km with 591,159 recorded people; Anshan at 76.736 km with 1,450,000 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 69.003 km. Compared with Panshan, Panjin's recorded population is 1.87 times as large. Against Panjin, Panshan follows Panjin Shi → Liaoning → 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 below Panjin's. Against Panjin, Yingkou follows Yingkou → Liaoning → 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 below Panjin's. Against Panjin, Anshan follows Anshan Shi → Liaoning → 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 above Panjin's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 120 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Panjin's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the tightest tenth 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 10794003, the coordinate pair 41.1210 / 122.0739, country rank 148 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 2035513 at 7.733 km bind Panjin to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Panjin's reference point is 41.1210° north and 122.0739° 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. Panjin's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Panjin's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Panjin's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Panjin, 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.
