01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Yiwu—1,481,384, 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 Yiwu is GeoNames ID 1814870. Its recorded administrative path is Jinhua Shi → Zhejiang → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Yiwu 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 2021-12-13; 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, Yiwu ranks 324 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 103; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 185. Its 1,481,384 population value is 1.27 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.47 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Yiwu sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Yiwu'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.
Yiwu's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Puyang (Zhejiang) at 24.089 km with 3,590,000 recorded people; Jinhua at 47.945 km with 1,463,990 recorded people; Guli at 48.383 km with 536,000 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 24.294 km. Compared with Puyang (Zhejiang), Yiwu's recorded population is 0.41 times as large. Against Yiwu, Puyang (Zhejiang) 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 the same third-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Yiwu's. Against Yiwu, Jinhua follows Jinhua 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 second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Yiwu's. Against Yiwu, Guli follows Jinhua 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 Yiwu's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 292 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Yiwu'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 1814870, the coordinate pair 29.3151 / 120.0768, country rank 103 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1798425 at 24.089 km bind Yiwu to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Yiwu's reference point is 29.3151° north and 120.0768° 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. Yiwu's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Yiwu's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Yiwu's place-class field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its time zone is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Yiwu, 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.
