Chishui (Chinese: 赤水; pinyin: Chìshuǐ) is a mountainous town and one of eleven fourth-order administrative divisions under the jurisdiction of northwest Dehua County, Quanzhou, Fujian, China, located 33 kilometres from the county seat and home to a species of Apanteles (Apanteles opacus).[5][6]

Chishui has Jiuxian Mountain in its administrative town boundaries.[7] Daiyun Mountain (also known as Yingxue Mountain) is another mountain in Daiyun, a village administered under Chishui. Daiyun Mountain is 1856 metres tall, takes up 35 km2, and is heavily vegetated, protected and trailed. It is known as 'the ridge of Mid-Fujian' and overlooks Alishan mountain ranges in Taiwan. Huangshan pine trees are scattered over the mountain. Chishui also has a ceramics museum and a location on the Taoxian River.[8]

The town has a humid-subtropical climate (Cfb) on the Köppen climate classification.[6]
