The map
Cửa Nam is a ward in the centre of Hanoi. Its name means South Gate, after one of the gates of the city's former citadel. On the map it's a small, dense slice of the capital, just west of Hoàn Kiếm Lake and south of the Old Quarter, where many streets come together in a compact area.
Its street pattern mixes two eras. There are the broad, straight avenues and regular blocks laid out during the French colonial period, and there are the narrower, older lanes that wind between them. The railway line through central Hanoi and the main station are nearby, a firm north–south line through the middle of the city.
A Cửa Nam map poster frames one of the most interesting fragments of Hanoi's centre, a neighbourhood of colonial-era avenues, tight courtyards and busy intersections. In black and white, the density of the lanes and the straight line of the tracks make a detailed, balanced composition.
Straight, broad streets from the French period cross the ward, forming regular blocks that contrast with the smaller lanes between them.
The rail line through central Hanoi passes close by, a sharp straight line through the dense surrounding blocks.
The lake that anchors the centre of Hanoi lies just to the east, and a wider framing can include its familiar oval shape.
