This year, the first lighted street in the history of Kinmen debuted in the Shanwai district. The roads all used to be paved with concrete--better for armored vehicles and easier to repair--but now the roads in many residential areas are paved with asphalt, which is easier going on private vehicles.
今年金湖鎮「山外」出現了金門有史以來第一條有路燈的道路；過去金門為了方便裝甲車行走和毀損後易修補，只有水泥路；如今在居民較多的地區，道路也加鋪柏油，以利私人交通工具往來。
