01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Puyang (Henan)—655,674, 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 Puyang (Henan) is GeoNames ID 9181182. Its recorded administrative path is Puyang Shi → Henan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Puyang appears on 2 separate GeoNames rows in this atlas, so the qualifier “Henan” and numeric ID prevent those places from being merged. The city row itself was updated 2025-05-15; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
