Located next to the Ma River, Quy Loc town (formerly Quy Loc commune), Yen Dinh district, Thanh Hoa province, is considered a locality with a beautiful, well-planned chessboard shape. According to information from Yen Dinh District Party Committee, the chessboard planning in Quy Loc was carried out from late 1975 to early 1976. Previously, Quy Loc residents mainly lived in the area outside the Ma River dike. After the planning was implemented, people voluntarily relocated and moved to live in a concentrated area, forming the Quy Loc residential area today.

Quy Loc town has an area of ​​13.56km2 with more than 15,000 people living.

The roads in the residential area are planned in straight lines, divided into squares like a chessboard.

Seen from above, the entire town of Quy Loc has no winding roads or alleys. Along the center of the commune are the main roads and small roads running straight across, forming a modern planning structure.

At the end of the main road is a residential area, surrounded by limestone mountains.
