Kiên Lao Location Check: Bắc Ninh vs. thị xã Chũ

Kiên Lao: Location and Mapping Choice

The verified source describes Kiên Lao in English as a “commune in Bắc Ninh province, Vietnam” and in Vietnamese as “xã thuộc thành phố Bắc Ninh”.

• Recorded names: primary Kiên Lao; aliases Kien Lao, Xã Kiên Lao, Kiên Lao, thị xã Chũ.

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.
