Wenzhou

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Wenzhou is GeoNames ID 1791388. Its recorded administrative path is Wenzhou Shi → Zhejiang → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat.

Wenzhou 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 2026-04-05; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

Population position inside fixed cohorts

Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Wenzhou ranks 145 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 52; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 92.

Its 2,650,000 population value is 2.27 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 2.63 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Wenzhou falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's China population cohort.

Wenzhou's recorded value reaches at least twice the country-cohort median in this snapshot. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Nearest-reference pattern

Wenzhou's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Rui'an at 24.851 km with 927,383 recorded people; Taizhou (Zhejiang) at 105.186 km with 1,485,502 recorded people; Guli at 116.027 km with 536,000 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 91.176 km. Compared with Rui'an, Wenzhou's recorded population is 2.86 times as large. Against Wenzhou, Rui'an follows Wenzhou Shi → Zhejiang → 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 third-order administrative seat.

Its recorded population is below Wenzhou's. Against Wenzhou, Taizhou (Zhejiang) follows Taizhou Shi → Zhejiang → 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 second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Wenzhou's. Against Wenzhou, Guli follows Jinhua Shi → Zhejiang → 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 third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Wenzhou's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 296 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Wenzhou's nearest-coordinate gap falls between the tightest tenth and quarter 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 1791388, the coordinate pair 27.9994 / 120.6668, country rank 52 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1797063 at 24.851 km bind Wenzhou 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

Wenzhou's reference point is 27.9994° north and 120.6668° 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. Wenzhou's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

Wenzhou's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Wenzhou's place-class field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its time zone is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Wenzhou, 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.
