Everything you need to identify Vietnam in GeoGuessr — from the writing system and road signs to bollard colours, utility poles, and the landscape itself.
These are the fastest visual identifiers — things you should look for in the first few seconds of a round.
Vietnamese has the most diacritical marks of any Latin-script language — each syllable can have up to 6 tone marks; letters like ă, â, đ, ê, ô, ơ, ư are combined with tone marks
Motorbikes/scooters so heavily outnumber cars that roads look like rivers of motorcycles
Limestone karst mountains (like Hạ Long Bay) are one of the world's most distinctive landscapes

Vietnam drives on the right side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the right side — so oncoming traffic comes from the left. This is the norm for most of Europe, the Americas, and continental Asia.
Vietnam is the world's second-largest coffee exporter. The country has the world's largest cave (Son Doong), large enough to fit a 40-storey building inside its main passage.
