Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Qionghai is GeoNames ID 1806488. Its recorded administrative path is Qionghai County → Hainan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Qionghai 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 2021-12-06; 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, Qionghai ranks 1,070 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 278; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 564. Its 528,238 population value is 0.45 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.52 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Qionghai sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Qionghai's recorded value is materially below 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
Qionghai's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Wenchang at 49.422 km with 560,894 recorded people; Wanning at 49.994 km with 545,992 recorded people; Haikou at 88.892 km with 2,873,358 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 39.47 km. Compared with Wenchang, Qionghai's recorded population is 0.94 times as large. Against Qionghai, Wenchang follows Wenchang Shi → Hainan → 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 third-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Qionghai's. Against Qionghai, Wanning follows Wanning Shi → Hainan → 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 above Qionghai's. Against Qionghai, Haikou follows Haikou Shi → Hainan → 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 Qionghai's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 431 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Qionghai'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 1806488, the coordinate pair 19.2425 / 110.4642, country rank 278 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1791544 at 49.422 km bind Qionghai 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
Qionghai's reference point is 19.2425° north and 110.4642° 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. Qionghai's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Qionghai's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Qionghai's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Qionghai, 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.
