Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Suzhou (Anhui) is GeoNames ID 1793743. Its recorded administrative path is Suzhou Shi → Anhui → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Suzhou appears on 2 separate GeoNames rows in this atlas, so the qualifier “Anhui” and numeric ID prevent those places from being merged. The city row itself was updated 2024-03-26; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

Suzhou (Anhui)'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 1793743, the coordinate pair 33.6361 / 116.9789, country rank 88 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1807700 at 41.407 km bind Suzhou (Anhui) 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
Suzhou (Anhui)'s reference point is 33.6361° north and 116.9789° 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. Suzhou (Anhui)'s row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Suzhou (Anhui)'s point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Suzhou (Anhui)'s time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Suzhou (Anhui), 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.
