01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Zhu Cheng City—1,000,000, 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 Zhu Cheng City is GeoNames ID 7602670. Its recorded administrative path is Weifang Shi → Shandong → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Zhu Cheng City 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 2021-09-20; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
