A Lưới is a rural district of Thừa Thiên-Huế Province in the North Central Coast region of Vietnam. It is located west in the highly mountainous area of A Shau Valley bordering Laos. The population includes many Bru, Hoa and Tà Ôi people. As of 2003 the district had a population of 38,616. The district covers an area of 1,229 km² and its capital lies at A Lưới, a former French airfield, later usd by the Americans in Operation Delaware and then by the North Vietnamese for courier flights.〔name="Statoids"〕 Many areas and mountains in the A Luoi region became historical in the mid-late 1960s during the Vietnam War, such the Battle of A Shau, the 5th Special Forces Camp that was overrun in 1966, as well as the 4,878-foot Dong Re Lao Mountain best known as the "Signal Hill" that was seized by 1st Cavalry Division LRRP / Rangers in 1968 during Operation Delaware.〔Robert C.Ankony, ''Lurps: A Ranger's Diary of Tet, Khe Sanh, A Shau, and Quang Tri,'' revised ed., Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, Landham, MD, (2009).〕 Also, A Bia Mountain, known as the Hamburger Hill that was seized by members of the 101st Airborne Division.〔Robert C. Ankony, "No Peace in the Valley," Vietnam magazine, Oct. 2008, 26-31.〕 A Lưới is connected to the former French colonial capital and coastal city Huế, one of the main historical cities in central Vietnam by National Road 49, a road notorious for poor safety because of the mountainous terrain and poor road surface. The A Lưới District has one town and 21 communes. The central town has gas stations, and a few guest-houses for travelers. ==Communes== *Hồng Thủy *Hồng Vân *Hồng Trung *Hồng Kim *Hồng Nam *Hồng Hạ *Hồng Bắc *Bắc Sơn *Hồng Quảng *A Ngo *Sơn Thủy *Phú Vinh *Nhâm *Hồng Thái *Hồng Thượng *Hương Phong *Hương Lâm *Đông Sơn *A Đớt *A Roàng *Hương Nguyên 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Lưới District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
