Jincheng (Chinese: 金城鎮; pinyin: Jīnchéng Zhè; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kim-siâⁿ-tìn) is an urban township on the southwestern corner of the island of Kinmen (Quemoy). It is the county seat of Kinmen County, Fujian Province, Republic of China. It also served as the capital of Republic of China's Fujian Province from 1949 to 1956.
