Note:

This Portolan chart is typical of the Dutch cartography of the 17th century with Portuguese influence. On it are depicted the Western Pacific, China and Philippine Seas, as for the coast line extends from Malaysia to Nanjing with Korea (Coraij) represented as a small island. The other islands present are the Chinese islands of Hainan and Taiwan, a small part of Sumatra, the north part of Borneo and Philippines and southeast Japan. Near the coast of the Vietnamese East coast are the Paracels in the Vaz Dourado type, although with the triangular set on its northeast side that started to emerge on Dutch maps by the mid-16th century.
