01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Wanzhou—1,545,900, 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 Wanzhou is GeoNames ID 12358576. Its recorded administrative path is Chongqing → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Wanzhou 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 2025-08-30; 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, Wanzhou ranks 302 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 99; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 175. Its 1,545,900 population value is 1.33 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.53 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Wanzhou sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Wanzhou'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.

Its point has higher 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 third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Wanzhou's. Against Wanzhou, Guang'an follows Guang'an Shi → Sichuan → China in the source.

Its recorded population is below Wanzhou's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 77 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Wanzhou's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the tightest tenth of the atlas. 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 12358576, the coordinate pair 30.7645 / 108.3959, country rank 99 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1791748 at 6.093 km bind Wanzhou to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Wanzhou's reference point is 30.7645° north and 108.3959° 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. Wanzhou's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Wanzhou's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Wanzhou's place-class field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its time zone is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Wanzhou, 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.
