Xinyuan Township is west of Donggang, and across the Kaoping River from Linyuan and Daliao Districts in Kaohsiung. 新園鄉位於東港的西部 , 也與高雄市的林園區和大寮區隔著高屏溪 . 

According to the last census, 33,698 people live in Xinyuan. 上次的人口統計顯示 , 新園有33,698人 .

There's a port at the southern end of Xinyuan, where the Donggang and Kaoping Rivers meet the Taiwan Strait.  Another ferry to Xiaoliuqiu departs from this port. 新園南部有一港口, 是東港溪 和 高屏溪連接台灣海峽的地方 . 可以從這裡坐船到小琉球 .

There are many fish farms west of the port, and a lot of trash is washed up on the nearby beach from the port and other areas. 港口西部有很多魚池 , 也有很多垃圾被沖到這裡 .
