01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Yixing—1,285,785, 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 Yixing is GeoNames ID 1786760. Its recorded administrative path is Wuxi Shi → Jiangsu → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Yixing 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 2022-04-01; 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, Yixing ranks 395 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 130; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 232. Its 1,285,785 population value is 1.10 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.28 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Yixing sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Yixing's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Yixing'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 1786760, the coordinate pair 31.3606 / 119.8202, country rank 130 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1815456 at 47.642 km bind Yixing to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Yixing's reference point is 31.3606° north and 119.8202° 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. Yixing's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Yixing's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Yixing's place-class field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its time zone is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Yixing, 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.
