01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Yibin—836,340, 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 Yibin is GeoNames ID 1786770. Its recorded administrative path is Yibin Shi → Sichuan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Yibin 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 2021-10-19; 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, Yibin ranks 671 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 206; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 387. Its 836,340 population value is 0.72 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.83 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Yibin sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Yibin'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.
Yibin's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Zigong at 66.105 km with 1,262,064 recorded people; Luzhou at 77.925 km with 998,900 recorded people; Neijiang at 100.401 km with 1,251,095 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 34.296 km. Compared with Zigong, Yibin's recorded population is 0.66 times as large. Against Yibin, Zigong follows Zigong Shi → Sichuan → 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 populated place rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Yibin's. Against Yibin, Luzhou follows Luzhou Shi → Sichuan → 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 above Yibin's. Against Yibin, Neijiang follows Neijiang Shi → Sichuan → 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 the same third-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Yibin's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 532 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Yibin'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 1786770, the coordinate pair 28.7593 / 104.6399, country rank 206 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1783745 at 66.105 km bind Yibin to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Yibin's reference point is 28.7593° north and 104.6399° 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. Yibin's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Yibin's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Yibin's place-class field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its time zone is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Yibin, 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.
