221.441111111111106.503888888890.00027777777777778

The record also lists an elevation above sea level of 131 m.

Editorial interpretation: map Kiên Lao from the supplied coordinates — around 21.43–21.44 N, 106.50–106.52 E — and treat the thị xã Chũ variant as the disambiguating name, rather than relying on the Bắc Ninh description.

Editorial verification steps:

  • Check a current Vietnamese administrative gazetteer or Bắc Giang provincial reference to confirm which xã currently belongs to thị xã Chũ.
  • On a georeferenced map, confirm that both supplied coordinate points fall near Chũ in Bắc Giang rather than in Bắc Ninh.
  • If a map or routing service returns Bắc Ninh for “Kiên Lao”, add “thị xã Chũ” or “Bắc Giang” to the query.
