Baoshan Town (hereafter the County) is in the southeast of Hsinchu County or south of Hsinchu City. It connects Zhudong Townshi in the east, links to Xianshan District of Hsinchu City, is next to Beipu and Emei Towns and Toufen Township of Miaoli County in the south, and is contiguous to Hsinchu City in the northThe center position is at east longitude 120 degrees, 59 minutes 43 seconds and north latitude 24 degrees, 44 minutes 45 seconds.  The four extremes are: Shadali in the east at east longitude 121 degrees 3 minutes 50 seconds, north latitude 24 degrees 43 minutes 45 seconds, west in Nanai at east longtitude 120 degrees 55 minutes 37 seconds and north latitude 24 degrees 42 minutes 55 seconds, south in Baokeren at east longtitude 120 degrees 56 minutes 45 seconds and north latitude 24 degrees 42 minutes 25 seconds and Xuanxi in north at east longitude 120 degrees 51 minutes and north latitude 24 degrees 46 minutes 55 seconds.

The Town is 14 km from east to from west and 8.45 km from north to south.  The total area is 64.78714 square meters, accounting for 4.54% of total area of Hsinchu County.  It ranks the 6th place among the ten towns and townships in Hsinchu County in area, next to Jianshe Town, Wufeng Town, Guanxi Township, Xinpu Township and Hengshan Town.
The major folds are Ganziqi Syncline and Baoshan Anticline:
(1) Ganziqi Syncline: It is in the northwest of Baoshan Anticline.  The syncline axle is northeastward, basically in parallel with Baoshan Anticline axle.  Its southeast wing is the northeast wing of Baoshan Anticline.  The syncline is 11.5 km in length and all the composition stratum is Toukoshan Formation.  The stratum dip of the two wings is below 10 degrees.  The maximum can be 20 odd degrees.
(2) Baoshan Anticline: The anticline axle is northeast bound and extends 9 km in Hsinchu County.  The exposed stratum is Toukoshan Formation.  The stratum dip of the two wings is mostly around 10 degrees.  Some can be over 20 degrees.  The Town is full of small and steep peaks with rare flats.  Spider-web-like roads are densely distributed among the peaks.  Major mountain range include:
(a) Sanchatushan: It was also known as Sanchajianshan, erecting in the south of the Town between Baoshan Town and Emei Town.  It is the tallest peak in the Town.  It overlooks Xincheng in the west and stands next to Baoshan in the east.  The northern hills are in discrepancy.  In Hsinchu County Investigation Record, “the mountain stands tall in round shape of elegance at the height of 66 odd meters.  There is a camphor tree in the mountains with which the villagers worship the earth god.  The tree has been there for centuries.”
(b) Dalishan: Also known as Shawulishan, it is in Dali, north of the Town.  It wiggles westward to Dali and, facing Sanchatushan in the west.  The valley generates a river, running southward along the north foot of the mountain.  Turning into Emei Town, it becomes Emei River.
(c) Shuixialunshan: It is between Jinshan and Baoshan.  The hills wind from Shahuli and deviate in Wubaokuo.  They then turn to Jinshan in northwest, cross Shuixianlunqi and turn to Baoshan.
(d) Wubaokuoshan: It is in the northeast of Dalishan.  It was said Wubao was defending here long ago.  Kuo in Hakka means mountain ridge.  Tamsui Hall Journal calls it Wubaoji.
(e) Shijiushan: The mountain is in the northeast of Sanchatushan in zigzag.  Tree branches are in different shapes.  The mountain is the only way from Shuanxi to Xincheng.  The mountain is named after Shijiu Village beside it.
(f) Baoshan: It was known as Caoshan.  The mountain is the branch from Dalishan and includes Fengshuqiaoshan and Houshushan.  Hsinchu County Investigation Record describes here in mixture with winding paths.
(g) Baodoushan: Several branches of Shijiushan extend to the southeast in clear distinction.  A more square one is the mountain.
 
Introduction of rivers:
Baoshan Town is full of mountains and tend to be the origination or upstream of rivers.  Rivers in the Town can be divided into 4 major systems: 1. Touqian River watershed, 2. upstream watershed of Dapu Reservoir for the east of San Peak, the tallest peak in the south in Emei River Basin and a part of Zhonggang River Basin, 3. the north immense area belonging to Keya River Basin into Keya River northbound with the largest river area, accounting for over 2/3 area of the Town and 4. southwest area collected into Yanshui Port, accounting for 1/4 area of the Town. 

(1) Keya River: It was known as Xizhi River or Qiashui River.  It is the largest river in the basin and runs from southeast to northwest.  The river originates from Beikengzai, Shahuli, Shanhu Village and runs through Shanhu Village and Baoshan Village.  Converging the water from Shuixianlun in the north, the river runs westward to Qiashui to converge water from Jiyoutu in the south.  The upstream is called Qiashui River.  It keeps going westward to Daqi Village and Xuanxi Village to converge Santiaokeng River and flows to Qincaohu Reservoir and Hsinchu City.  Finally, it goes to the sea between Jinshui Li and Hushan Li in Xianshan.  The main stream length is approx. 24 km and river basin area is 45.6 square kilometers.  Average inclination is 1.06% and annual raindrop is around 1500 mm.  Average runoff is 78.3 million cubic meters.  The flow of Keyan River increases from upstream to lower stream.  In water abundant season, Keya River in Qincao Lake has average flow of below 0.93 cubic meters per second.  Owing to weir at 100 meter in the upstream set by Hsinchu Irrigation Association for irrigation, the flow of Niupu Bridge is slower.  Xianya Bridge is in tidal section.  The flow is affected by tides irregular.
(2) Yanshuigang River:  It is also known as Nanai River or Neihu River in east west direction.  The origin is Sancahtu (Sanfeng) in the Town.  The river runs through Xincheng.  The branches Shijiu and Dongkeng are converged and then flow to Baodoren where the river is converged with water from Nankeng.  Again, the river runs through Shenjin to be converged with water from Shenjin.  Finally, it runs to Nanai, Zhongai, and Neihu in Hsinchu City into Taiwan Strait.
(3) Shijin River: It is the branch of Emei River in the direction from southeast to northwest.  The river originates from Dalishan gorge ravine.  The basin covers Shanhu, Youtian and Sanfeng Villages.  Running through Beipu Town, the river is poured into Emei Lake and finally into Zhonggang River.
(4) Kezhi River: It was called Guangpukeng, Kelikeng and Keli River before.  It originates from Shahuli, in Shanhu Village of the Town and is the branch of Toucheng River.  To meet demand of water in Hsinchu Science Park and partial citizens, Baoshan Reservoir was built in the upstream of Kezhi River.  The construction was formally started on 25 December 1981 and completed on 31 January 1985.
       
The water source is the branch of Toucheng River and Shangping River in water abundant seasons or runoff during rainy seasons.  A weir was built in Zhaoshu, Zhudong Township to introducewater to the entrance of Zhudongzhen in Ruanqiao Li.  The water is conducted through Zhudongzhen Tunnel and fallen into the reservoir in storage.
