01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Tonghua—510,000, 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.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Tonghua is GeoNames ID 2034414. Its recorded administrative path is Tonghua Shi → Jilin → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Tonghua 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 2018-12-06; 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, Tonghua ranks 1,120 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 285; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 590. Its 510,000 population value is 0.44 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.51 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Tonghua sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Tonghua'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.
Tonghua's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Fushun at 165.391 km with 1,400,646 recorded people; Benxi at 186.258 km with 987,717 recorded people; Siping at 204.557 km with 555,609 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 39.166 km. Compared with Fushun, Tonghua's recorded population is 0.36 times as large. Against Tonghua, Fushun follows Fushun Shi → Liaoning → 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 the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Tonghua's. Against Tonghua, Benxi follows Benxi 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 populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Tonghua's. Against Tonghua, Siping follows Siping Shi → Jilin → 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 populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Tonghua's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 917 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Tonghua'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 2034414, the coordinate pair 41.7197 / 125.9264, country rank 285 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 2037355 at 165.391 km bind Tonghua to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Tonghua's reference point is 41.7197° north and 125.9264° 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. Tonghua's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Tonghua's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Tonghua's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Tonghua, 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.
