Jinsha Township (Kinsha[3][4]) (Chinese: 金沙鎮; pinyin: Jīnshā Zhèn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kim-soa-tìn; lit. 'gold dust'[5]) is an urban township in the north-eastern corner of Greater Kinmen Island (Quemoy), Kinmen County, Fujian Province, Republic of China (Taiwan). It is in the Taiwan Strait, on the coast of mainland China.
Jinsha has a population of 20,689 (February 2023) and an area of 41.2920 km2 (15.9429 sq mi). The township is the second largest by area of the six townships of Kinmen County.[5] The township includes Cao Islet (Ts'ao Hsü; 草嶼), Hou Islet (后嶼),[6] and other small islets.[7][8]

Rock-filled waters make passage between the two areas difficult.[10]
