Lieyu Township (Liehyu; Template:Zh) is a rural township in Kinmen County, Taiwan. It consists mainly of three islands located to the west of Greater Kinmen and immediately to the east of Xiamen (Amoy). The township encompasses islands of Lesser Kinmen (Template:Zh), Dadan, and Erdan.[2]

Name

According to tradition, Greater Kinmen and Lesser Kinmen were originally one island. Lieyu was split-off (Template:Zh-no-labels) from Kinmen Island, hence the name Lieyu.[3]Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

The first people arrived from the Central Plains of China during the Tang dynasty and quickly developed the island. The population quickly multiplied. During the Tang dynasty, a horse pasture was set up on the island. During the Song dynasty, a salt works was constructed. During the Ming dynasty, a frontier command was constructed. During the Qing dynasty, a garrison was sent to protect against Japanese pirates.

On July 26, 1950, ROC forces on the Dadan Island, in total 298 soldiers, repulsed an attack [zh] from a People's Liberation Army force of 700 soldiers that landed on the island.[4][5]

In January 1985, eight Chinese fishermen from a stranded boat were executed on Shi Islet by military orders.[6][7]

Donggang Bay, Lieyu Island, was the site of 1987 Lieyu massacre, where nineteen or more Vietnamese refugees were killed on March 7, 1987 by the ROC armed forces.[8][9]

President Ma explained the reason for building a bridge linking Kinmen and Lieyu (Little Kinmen) as follows: With the resident population of Lieyu Township being only between 2000-3000, transportation is not the primary reason. With what the central government most concerned is Kinmen's status in the overall cross-strait relation and its competition with Xiamen. He believed that with the completion of the construction, Kinmen Bridge will become a marvelous tourist landmark in Kinmem [sic]. Script error: No such module "Lang".
