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]. 馬總統說,烈嶼鄉的常住人口不過兩、三千人,蓋橋除了考量大、小金門的交通,最主要是看重金門在整個兩岸關係的地位,以及未來面對廈門的競爭。他相信,金門大橋的興建,將成為金門觀光的絕佳地標。
