All of the prefecture-level cities except Nanping, Sanming, and Longyan are found along the coast.

These nine prefecture-level cities are subdivided into 84 [[county-level division]]s (31 [[District of China|district]]s, 11 [[county-level cities]], and 42 [[County (People's Republic of China)|counties]]). Those are in turn divided into 1,102 [[Administrative divisions of the People's Republic of China#Township level|township-level divisions]] (653 [[Town (China)|town]]s, 233 [[Townships of the People's Republic of China|township]]s, 19 [[ethnic township]]s, and 195 [[Subdistricts of China|subdistrict]]s).

The [[People's Republic of China]] claims five of the six townships of [[Kinmen|Kinmen County]], Republic of China (Taiwan) as a county of the prefecture-level city of [[Quanzhou]].<ref name="statqz">{{cite web|url=http://www.stats.gov.cn/tjsj/tjbz/tjyqhdmhcxhfdm/2018/35/3505.html|script-title=zh:2018年统计用区划代码和城乡划分代码：泉州市 |language=zh-hans |publisher=[[National Bureau of Statistics of the People's Republic of China]] |date=2018 |access-date=10 August 2019 |quote={{lang|zh-hans|统计用区划代码 名称{...}350527000000 金门县{...} }} }}</ref><ref name="govqz">{{cite web|url=http://www.quanzhou.gov.cn/zfb/zjqz/jzyg/|publisher=Quanzhou People's Government |language=zh-hans|access-date=10 August 2019|script-title=zh:建治沿革|quote={{lang|zh-hans|民国3年7月，金门自思明县析出置县，隶属厦门道。{...}民国22年(1933){...}12月13日，四省分别更名为闽海、延建、兴泉、龙汀。兴泉省辖莆田、仙游、晋江、南安、安溪、惠安、同安、金门、永春、德化、大田、思明十二县 ，治设晋江(今泉州市区)。{...}民国23年7月，全省设立十个行政督察区，永春、德化、惠安属第四行政督察区(专署驻仙游)，晋江、南安、安溪、金门属第五行政督察区(专署驻同安)。民国24年(1935)10月，全省改为7个行政督察区、l市。惠安、晋江、南安、金门、安溪、永春、德化属第四区(专署驻同安)。民国26年4月，南安县治徙溪美。10月，日本侵略军攻陷金门岛及烈屿，金门县政府迁到大嶝乡。{...}民国27年(1938){...}8月，金门县政务由南安县兼摄。{...}民国32年(1943)9月，全省调整为8个行政督察区、2个市。第四区专署仍驻永春，下辖永春、安溪、金门、南安、晋江、惠安等九县。德化改属第六区(专署驻龙岩)。 {...}1949年8月24日，福建省人民政府(省会福州)成立。8、9月间，南安、永春、惠安、晋江、安溪相继解放。9月， 全省划为八个行政督察区。9月9日，第五行政督察专员公署成立，辖晋江、南安、同安、惠安、安溪、永春、仙游、莆田、金门(待统一)等九县。公署设晋江县城(今泉州市区)。10月9日，金门县大嶝岛、小嶝岛及角屿解放。11月24日，德化解放，归入第七行政督察区(专署驻永安县)。  　1950年{...}10月17日，政务院批准德化县划归晋江区专员公署管辖；1951年1月正式接管。至此， 晋江区辖有晋江、南安、同安、安溪、永春、德化、莆田、仙游、惠安、金门(待统一)十县。{...}1955年3月12日，奉省人民委员会令，晋江区专员公署改称晋江专员公署，4月1日正式实行。同年5月，省人民政府宣布成立金门县政府。{...}1970年{...}6月18日，福建省革命委员会决定实行。于是,全区辖有泉州市及晋江、惠安、南安、同安、安溪、永春、德化、金门(待统一)八县。同年12月25日，划金门县大嶝公社归同安县管辖。{...}1992年3月6日，国务院批准，晋江撤县设市，领原晋江县行政区域，由泉州代管。1992年5月1日。晋江市人民政府成立，至此，泉州市计辖l区、2市、6县：鲤城区、石狮市、晋江市、惠安县、南安县、安溪县、永春县、德化县、金门县，(待统一)。}}}}</ref><ref name="xzqhqz">{{cite web |url=http://www.xzqh.org/html/show/fj/9622.html |script-title=zh:泉州市历史沿革 |publisher=XZQH.org |date=14 July 2015 |language=zh-hans |access-date=10 August 2019 |quote={{lang|zh-hans|1949年8月至11月除金门县外各县相继解放，{...}自1949年9月起除续领原辖晋江、惠安、南安、安溪、永泰、德化、莆田、仙游、金门、同安10县外，1951年从晋江县析出城区和近郊建县级泉州市。{...}2003年末，全市总户数1715866户，总人口6626204人，其中非农业人口1696232人（均不包括金门县在内）；}} }}</ref>
