Qingyang

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Qingyang is GeoNames ID 12359313. Its recorded administrative path is Qingyang Shi → Gansu → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat.

Qingyang 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 2025-08-18; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

Population position inside fixed cohorts

Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Qingyang ranks 190 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 63; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 116.

Its 2,125,400 population value is 1.82 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 2.11 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Qingyang falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's China population cohort.

Qingyang'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.

Nearest-reference pattern

Against Qingyang, Pingliang follows Pingliang Shi → Gansu → 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 the same second-order administrative seat class.

Its recorded population is below Qingyang's. Against Qingyang, Baoji follows Baoji Shi → Shaanxi → 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 the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Qingyang's. Against Qingyang, Xianyang follows Xianyang Shi → Shaanxi → China in the source.

Its recorded population is below Qingyang's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 648 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Qingyang'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 12359313, the coordinate pair 35.7098 / 107.6446, country rank 63 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1798760 at 88.681 km bind Qingyang to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts

Qingyang's reference point is 35.7098° north and 107.6446° 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. Qingyang's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

Qingyang's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Qingyang's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Qingyang, 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.
