Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Qui Nhon is GeoNames ID 1568574. Its recorded administrative path is Phu Cat District → Gia Lai → Vietnam, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Qui Nhon 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 2026-04-14; 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, Qui Nhon ranks 1,092 by recorded population. Inside the 13 selected Vietnam entries it ranks 13; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 576.

Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Vietnam cohort, uses the shared Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Qui Nhon's. Against Qui Nhon, Huế follows Thanh Pho Hue → Thua Thien Hue Province → Vietnam in the source.

Qui Nhon'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 1568574, the coordinate pair 13.7765 / 109.2237, country rank 13 of 13, and neighbor GeoNames 1572151 at 170.315 km bind Qui Nhon 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
Qui Nhon's reference point is 13.7765° north and 109.2237° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh is shared by 8 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Qui Nhon's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Qui Nhon's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Qui Nhon's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Qui Nhon, 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.
