+ | Lục Sĩ Thành is a district in Vĩnh Long province, that spans over part of the Cloudy Islands, **Cù Lao Mây**, which was named by king Nguyễn Ánh in the XVIIIth Century. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The district was named after the first Việt Minh soldier to die on the island in 1946, at the hands of the French. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The isles are formed by sedimentation at the confluent of Măng Thít river and the Sông Hậu (the //Bassac// river). They are split by Kênh Xáng, a canal that serves as the main access way to the inhabitants and faces the Nicolai canal, dug in the years 1906-1908 as a shortcut for freighters. | ||
