Yanjin, China with a population of over 400k is the narrowest city in the world, only 300m at its broadest point and only 30m wide in some places. And here people thought NYC was dense.

Easy to be the "longest city" when you stretch your city limits to include almost all of a mostly uninhabited state park that's 2/3 the size of Rhode Island lol.
