The map
Sơn La is the capital of Sơn La Province in the mountains of north-west Vietnam. The town sits in a narrow valley. On the map, its streets stretch in a long band along the Nậm La stream and the main highway, hemmed in by steep slopes on both sides.
Side streets climb short distances into the hills before the terrain takes over. Beyond the town, the land breaks into karst peaks, terraced fields and forest. The area is home to Thai, H'Mông and other ethnic communities, and their villages lie scattered through the surrounding valleys.
The town is known for the old French colonial prison on its central hill, now a museum, where many Vietnamese revolutionaries were held. A Sơn La map poster shows a town shaped by its valley: long and narrow, and closely bound to the mountains around it.
The stream runs the length of the town. Streets, the highway and most buildings follow its course along the valley floor.
The former colonial prison stands on a hill in the centre. It is now a historical site and a clear landmark in the middle of the town.
Steep ridges and karst peaks surround the valley. The map's outer areas are nearly empty, which makes the narrow urban band stand out.

Why Sơn La
Sơn La belongs to the highlands, and a map of it keeps the valley, the stream and the mountain edges in view. It is a fitting keepsake for people from the region or travellers heading north-west.
