Wuqiu Township, Administrative township in Kinmen County, Taiwan.
Wuqiu Township comprises two primary islands, Greater Qiu and Smaller Qiu, located 72 nautical miles northeast of Kinmen's main territory, covering 1.2 square kilometers.
The township marked a maritime route between China and Ryukyu Islands in the 1400s, later developing into a fishing village by 1843 with a lighthouse built in 1874.
The local population of 666 residents maintains their linguistic identity through the Pu-Xian Min dialect, which originates from historical connections with Putian County.
Military-operated ferry services connect Greater Kinmen to Daqiu every fifteen days, while reverse osmosis systems supply drinking water to the community.
The Wuqiu Lighthouse resumed operations in 2017 after sixty years of inactivity, marking its return as a maritime navigation point in the Taiwan Strait.
