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]
At low tide, the coast near Mashan (馬山)[9] in northern Jinsha is 1.8 kilometres (1.1 mi) from Jiaoyu (Chiao I., Reef I.; 角屿/角嶼), an island originally part of Kinmen County in Dadeng Subdistrict, Xiang'an District, Xiamen, Fujian, People's Republic of China. Rock-filled waters make passage between the two areas difficult.[10]
