What the data says — and does not say

This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Qinzhou—1,296,300, 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.

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Qinzhou is GeoNames ID 1797551. Its recorded administrative path is Qinzhou Shi → Guangxi → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Qinzhou 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 2021-10-13; 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, Qinzhou ranks 391 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 126; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 228. Its 1,296,300 population value is 1.11 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.29 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Qinzhou sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Qinzhou'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.

Nearest-reference pattern

Qinzhou's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Beihai at 73.377 km with 525,329 recorded people; Nanning at 98.908 km with 3,839,800 recorded people; Guigang at 159.02 km with 1,086,327 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 85.643 km. Compared with Beihai, Qinzhou's recorded population is 2.47 times as large. Against Qinzhou, Beihai follows Beihai Shi → Guangxi → 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 Qinzhou's. Against Qinzhou, Nanning follows Nanning Shi → Guangxi → 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 first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Qinzhou's. Against Qinzhou, Guigang follows Guigang Shi → Guangxi → 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 the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Qinzhou's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 575 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Qinzhou's nearest-coordinate gap sits in the second quarter 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 1797551, the coordinate pair 21.9825 / 108.6506, country rank 126 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1816705 at 73.377 km bind Qinzhou 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

Qinzhou's reference point is 21.9825° north and 108.6506° 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. Qinzhou's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Qinzhou's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Qinzhou's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Qinzhou, 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.
