Description of Our Community: Lieyu is known as the Little Kinmen, a slight islet in the southwest of the main island Kinmen. It is very close to Xiamen of Fukien Province and only about five kilometers apart from Mainland China. Therefore its unique strategic location makes it "the very outer islet of islets, the most front of all fronts." Lieyu district is divided into five small villages, and the total area is only 14,851 kilometers with five thousands inhabitants. However, lots of scenic, ecological, historical, and cultural spots or sites make this lovely islet worth a deep-dyed visit. At the sightseeing of the wriggly coast can you find beautiful beaches full of snow-white sand. A good variety of bird species and scenes of large numbers of birds congregated together would absolutely catch your eyes. Places of historic interests, such as 823 Memorial Monument, Pata Memorial and Victory Gate, may probably arouse your patriotic sentiments. Besides, you can also take a look at our traditional villages and south of China's Fujian Province type houses. Before going home, don’t forget to taste our hometown specialty, Tribute Sweet (a kind of precious dessert for the Emperor). Then you won’t be disappointed for the coming of Lieyu.
Project Description: In the past, people may associate Lieyu only with military bases and innumerable soldiers. But now, as time goes by, it changes little by little and turns to be an important part of Kinmen National Park revealing brand-new features. So the purpose of this project is to present to people in Taiwan even people all around the world an introductory look at such an elegant and charming place. Through this research, we display the most representative parts with genuine interviews and beautiful photographs. We hope our words in the website can let you know more about Lieyu. We are passionate to share our natural and cultural treasures with all of you. Don’t you feel a little moved? Take a tour and come along with us. Lieyu, its veil is going to be revealed for you. Your coming is always welcome.
