The map
Thị Trấn Phố Lu, the township of Phố Lu, lies in Lào Cai province in the mountainous north-west of Vietnam, on the floor of the Red River valley. The river and the road and rail corridor that follow it give the town a long, linear form. On a map the streets run parallel to the water, and the hills rise on both sides, leaving little room to spread.
The town sits on the railway between Hanoi and Lào Cai, a line that has linked the northern highlands with the lowlands for more than a century. It is a local centre for the surrounding communes. The valley around it is farmed intensively, with rice fields on the flat ground and plantations on the lower slopes.
A Thị Trấn Phố Lu map poster shows this valley setting in a clean design. The curve of the Red River, the straight line of the railway and the town's streets all run close together. The steep, sparsely built hills fill the edges with space and focus attention on the narrow valley itself.
The broad river curves through the valley beside the town. It is the dominant shape on the poster and sets the direction of almost every street.
The Hanoi to Lào Cai railway runs through Phố Lu and adds a long, steady line that runs parallel to the river and the main road.
Houses and streets cluster on the flatter ground, while the surrounding hills are left as open space that clearly outlines the shape of the valley.

Why Thị Trấn Phố Lu
Phố Lu is a place many people pass through by train on the way north, and home to those who grew up beside the Red River. A map of the town is a precise, understated way to remember that valley.
