Lieyu Township, Administrative township in Kinmen County, Taiwan
Lieyu Township consists of three main islands: Lesser Kinmen, Dadan, and Erdan, positioned 5 kilometers from mainland China in the Taiwan Strait.
The area developed from a Tang dynasty horse pasture into a military stronghold during the Qing dynasty to protect against Japanese naval incursions.
The five villages of Linhu, Shangqi, Xikou, Huangpu, and Shanglin maintain local traditions influenced by both Taiwanese and Fujianese heritage points.
Transportation to Lieyu Township operates through Jiugong Pier with regular ferry connections to Greater Kinmen Island and a bridge completed in 2022.
The Lieyu Township Culture Museum presents exhibits about the region's military past, including documentation of the 1987 incident involving Vietnamese refugees.
