01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Siping—555,609, 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.
Wikidata's localized description: prefecture-level city in Jilin, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Siping is GeoNames ID 2034714. Its recorded administrative path is Siping Shi → Jilin → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Siping 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 2021-09-20; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Siping ranks 1,001 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 264; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 531. Its 555,609 population value is 0.48 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.55 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Siping sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Siping'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.
Siping's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Changchun at 110.403 km with 4,714,996 recorded people; Fushun at 146.142 km with 1,400,646 recorded people; Shenyang at 170.839 km with 7,050,000 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 60.436 km. Compared with Changchun, Siping's recorded population is 0.12 times as large. Against Siping, Changchun follows Changchun Shi → Jilin → 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 first-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Siping's. Against Siping, Fushun follows Fushun Shi → Liaoning → 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 second-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Siping's. Against Siping, Shenyang follows Shenyang Shi → Liaoning → China in the source.

Its recorded population is above Siping's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 737 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Siping'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 2034714, the coordinate pair 43.1614 / 124.3779, country rank 264 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 2038180 at 110.403 km bind Siping to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Siping's reference point is 43.1614° north and 124.3779° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Siping's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Siping's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Siping's place-class field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its time zone is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Siping, 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.
