Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map Northern Vietnam with topographic and tourist information, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project. The map is double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet.

Road and rail networks are easy to see on a clear base which presents topography by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, mountain passes and names of mountain ranges. Road network includes selected local tracks, gives driving distances on main roads, and indicates border crossing to neighbouring countries. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. National parks and protected areas are marked and symbols highlight various places of interest, including UNESCO world heritage sites, archaeological remains, temples and museums, viewpoints, campsites, beaches, etc. Also shown is the old boundary between North and South Vietnam and locations connected with the war between these countries, as well as with the war of independence from France.

Coverage extends south to Hue, with a generous overlap with the publisher’s map of Southern Vietnam. The map has a grid with latitude and longitude at intervals of 30’, and an index of localities. Map legend includes English. The map extends far into Laos, providing the same information as for Vietnam. In the adjoining areas of China only main road connections, larger towns and some places of interest are shown.

”World Mapping Project” is an extensive series of maps at varying scales, aiming to provide coverage of countries and regions worldwide using clear, well presented cartography with both topographic and tourist information. Some titles in this series have been published in Britain by Rough Guides with the same original cartography and are listed on our website only under that imprint. However, if required, the original Reise Know-How editions can be ordered on request - please contact us by e-mail.

Sample of cartography:

Some elements of the cartography e.g. minor roads and contours are printed relatively faintly compared with other information such as major roads. Although clearly legible on the map, the lower contrast of these details has made them less obvious on the reproduction of the cartography presented here.
