Introduction

There is very little streetview coverage in Vietnam, and the existing official coverage is not accessible through google maps.

It is very easy to find where you are in the country because addresses are written everywhere. This guide simply explains you how to read an address then shows you the 10 cities with streetview coverage.

How to read an address

Addresses (DC = địa chỉ = adresse) have a number and a street name

You may find the district number (Q = quận = district) in major cities.

City name is usually written after TP (TP = Thành phố = city)

The province is not always specified, sometimes it is written in full or in abbreviated. For the big cities, the name of the city and the name of the province are identical.

10 cities with official coverage

I recommend you use the City quiz with the country "Vietnam Geoguessr" to learn them.

City	Province	Province abbreviated
Ho Chi Minh City	Ho Chi Minh	HCM
Hanoi	Hanoi	HN
Haiphong	Haiphong	HP
Huế	Thừa Thiên Huế	Huế
Thái Nguyên	Thái Nguyên	TN
Hạ Long	Quảng Ninh	-
Yên Bái	Yên Bái	YB
Sông Cầu	Phu Yen	-
Bắc Ninh	Bắc Ninh	BN
Mỹ Tho	Tiền Giang	-

As far as i know only province names are abbreviated, so there's no abbreviation for Hạ Long, Sông Cầu or Mỹ Tho.

Good to know

Ho Chi Minh City was previously named Saïgon, a name that you may find sometimes.

Also, Ho Chi Minh is an historic figure, so you may find his name even though you're not in Ho Chi Minh City.

There are a few meta for Vietnam, but if you play in move they're not very interesting because of the many addresses you will find. If you're interested, you can find them on geotips.net
