Almost everyone in Lukang admits that industrial development is important, but "Lukang is one of the most important areas of Taiwan's folk culture. If you want to bring in industry, put it in a poor area off in the country somewhere, not in our Lukang," a resident says.
鹿港人也幾乎都承認，發展工業是重要且必要的；但，「鹿港是台灣最早開發的地區之一，也是最重要的民俗文化區，要引進工業，請到山上、到窮鄉僻壤，不要到我們鹿港來」，鹿港文教基金會執行長許漢卿說。
