Altitude colouring in broader bands has been replaced here by contours at 200m intervals plus relief shading. Boundaries of national parks & other protected areas are very prominently highlighted. Road network

Includes:: selected local tracks, gives driving distances on main roads, & indicates border crossing to the neighbouring countries. Railway lines are included & local airports are marked.

Symbols highlight various places of interest including UNESCO world heritage sites, archaeological remains, temples & museums, viewpoints, beaches, etc. Also marked are numerous locations connected with the war between the old North & South Vietnam (although not, as on the RK-H map, the demarcation line), as well as with the war of independence from France.
