Anhai is a town in southern Fujian province or Minnan, People's Republic of China. It is located in the far southern suburbs of the Quanzhou metropolitan area and is separated by Weitou Bay (simplified Chinese: 围头湾; traditional Chinese: 圍頭灣; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ûi-thâu-oân) from Kinmen, which is controlled by the Republic of China on Taiwan. Administratively, Anhai is part of Jinjiang County-level City, which in its turn is subordinated to Quanzhou.
The highest point in the town's administrative area is Mount Língyuán (simplified Chinese: 灵源山; traditional Chinese: 靈源山; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lêng-goân-soaⁿ) at 305 metres (1,001 ft).
