In 1984 He Xinlu named and described the type species Kaijiangosaurus lini. The generic name refers to the River (jiang) Kai. The specific name honours the paleontologist Lin Wenqiu.[1] The holotype, CCG 20020, was in Sichuan discovered in a layer of the Xiashaximiao Formation dating from the Bathonian-Callovian. The main find consists of a fragmentary skeleton lacking the skull. The holotype proper contains the intercentrum of the atlas and the third to ninth neck vertebrae. Other elements have been designated as a paratype, including fragmentary remains of the skull, nine teeth, elements of the pectoral girdle, a forelimb, and a hindlimb. Another paratype is the thighbone of a probably smaller individual.[1] Holtz al (2004) mentioned much more complete specimens, but they are undescribed

Another paratype is the thighbone of a probably smaller individual.[1] Holtz al (2004) mentioned much more complete specimens, but they are undescribed. There have been doubts about the validity of Kaijiangosaurus. It has been suggested that is was identical to Gasosaurus Dong & Tang 1985, which was found in the same strata as Kaijiangosaurus, the Lower Shaximiao Formation section of the Dashanpu Formation, or a junior synonym of Xuanhanosaurus Dong 1984.
