Jinshan District, Coastal administrative district in northern New Taipei, Taiwan.

The region spans 49 square kilometers of coastal territory with wetlands formed by three main creeks: Sulphur Creek, Xishi Creek, and Qingshui Creek.

The territory was initially a Ketagalan settlement named Ki-ppare, later adapted to Kimpauli after gold particles were discovered in local sulfur streams.

The Dharma Drum Buddhist College promotes higher education based on Zen Buddhism principles, contributing to the spiritual development of the region.

Regular public transportation connects Jinshan District to central Taipei, with multiple daily departures serving both residents and visitors throughout the year.

The coastal wetlands function as the final Taiwan rest point for northern migratory birds, including rare Siberian Cranes and Red-Crowned Cranes.
