01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Taizhou (Jiangsu)—1,607,108, 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: city in Jiangsu Province, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Taizhou (Jiangsu) is GeoNames ID 1793505. Its recorded administrative path is Taizhou Shi → Jiangsu → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Taizhou appears on 2 separate GeoNames rows in this atlas, so the qualifier “Jiangsu” and numeric ID prevent those places from being merged. The city row itself was updated 2026-01-14; 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, Taizhou (Jiangsu) ranks 283 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 91; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 164. Its 1,607,108 population value is 1.38 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.59 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Taizhou (Jiangsu) sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Taizhou (Jiangsu)'s recorded value is above the country-cohort median but remains below twice that benchmark. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Taizhou (Jiangsu)'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 1793505, the coordinate pair 32.4907 / 119.9081, country rank 91 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1787227 at 45.522 km bind Taizhou (Jiangsu) to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Taizhou (Jiangsu)'s reference point is 32.4907° north and 119.9081° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA3 is shared by 60 rows. Taizhou (Jiangsu)'s row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Taizhou (Jiangsu)'s point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Taizhou (Jiangsu)'s place-class field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its time zone is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Taizhou (Jiangsu), 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.
