This chart depicts the South China Sea with the coasts of Vietnam and China, including the Paracel Islands, the Philippines and the south tip of Taiwan. Made most likely as a navigational aid chart it displays some soundings with place names along the coast lines with inland areas mostly kept blank. The Paracel bank is already accompanied by the triangular set on its northeast side with the designation 'Les Lunette ou Le Cordon de S.t Anthoine'. On the map routes are marked in red lines and some of them are connected to Macau, that is marked on Xiangshan rather than only on the Macau Peninsula.
