Beiding Island[3][4] (Dodd Island,[5][6][7] Pei-ting Tao,[8] Beiding Dao[9]) (北碇島, pinyin: Běidìng Dǎo) is an island located east of Greater Kinmen in Jinhu Township, Kinmen County, Fujian Province, Republic of China (Taiwan).[10]

On September 8, 1978, a butchers group from Jinhu visited Dongding Island and Beiding Island to bring gifts to the soldiers there. They wished the soldiers a happy upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival.[11]

On March 31, 2018, the Chinese freight ship YUAN TAI（遠泰）789 struck rocks in the waters near Beiding Island. Nine crew members escaped without injury.[12]
