Note:
This hydrographic chart depicts the coast of South China extending from the Lamma Island (Lemma Channel) to Gangliao Bay. The outline of the coasts is somewhat accurate, however, the west part is much more detailed with a lot of soundings given while east the detail and soundings decrease which demotes that the surveying was underdeveloped in those areas. As the chart was to be used mostly for navigation there are quite a few navigational aid notes and a lot of Pagodas, Forts and mountains that can be seen from the sea are marked on the map.
