The “chessboard-like” planned villages along the coast of Hai Phong and Thai Binh

(Dan Tri) – The square, straight-lined villages in the coastal areas of Hai Phong City and Thai Binh Province, when viewed from above, look like giant chessboards.

The residential area in Tran Duong commune (Vinh Bao, Hai Phong - the land located along the Thai Binh and Hoa rivers) has parallel village roads, intersecting each other to create neat squares.

Each house has a yard, garden, fish pond and especially every road leads to the main road.

This type of planning creates long straight roads.

From the beginning of the village you can see to the end of the village through the horizontal and vertical alleys.

The squares are combined from the residential area to the fields.

In Thai Binh (bordering Hai Phong), there are many residential areas such as Hong Quynh, An Tan, Nam Cuong, Tay Tien... also with a checkerboard planning style.
