01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Zhuhai—2,207,090, 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.
Wikidata's localized description: prefecture-level city in Guangdong, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Zhuhai is GeoNames ID 1790437. Its recorded administrative path is Zhuhai Shi → Guangdong → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Zhuhai 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 2025-11-15; 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, Zhuhai ranks 181 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 61; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 111. Its 2,207,090 population value is 1.89 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 2.19 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Zhuhai falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Zhuhai'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.
Zhuhai's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Macau at 8.781 km with 649,335 recorded people; Zhongshan at 33.543 km with 3,841,873 recorded people; Tuen Mun at 43.449 km with 507,900 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 34.668 km. Compared with Macau, Zhuhai's recorded population is 3.40 times as large. Against Zhuhai, Macau follows Macao in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected Macao cohort rather than China, uses Asia/Macau instead of Asia/Shanghai, and carries capital of a political entity rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Zhuhai's. Against Zhuhai, Zhongshan follows Zhongshan Prefecture → Guangdong → 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 second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Zhuhai's. Against Zhuhai, Tuen Mun follows Tuen Mun → Hong Kong in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected Hong Kong cohort rather than China, uses Asia/Hong_Kong instead of Asia/Shanghai, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Zhuhai's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 136 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Zhuhai'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 1790437, the coordinate pair 22.2769 / 113.5678, country rank 61 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1821274 at 8.781 km bind Zhuhai to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Zhuhai's reference point is 22.2769° north and 113.5678° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Zhuhai's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Zhuhai's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Zhuhai's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Zhuhai, 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.
