  • 5. Kinmen National Park Jinning
    Kinmen or Quemoy , officially Kinmen County, is a group of islands, governed by the Republic of China , which is located just off the southeastern coast of mainland China, including Great Kinmen, Lesser Kinmen, Wuqiu and several surrounding islets. It is one of two counties under the streamlined Fujian Province of the Republic of China.

Due to the ongoing issue of the political status of Taiwan, the People's Republic of China has continuously claimed Kinmen as part of its own Fujian Province's Quanzhou prefecture-level city.
