Beauty of Taiwan The island of Taiwan Republic

Beauty of Taiwan The island of Taiwan (Republic of China) lies some 180 kilometers off the southeastern coast of China, across the Taiwan Strait, and has an area of 35, 883 km 2. The East China Sea lies to the north, the Philippine Sea to the east, the Luzon Strait directly to the south and the South China Sea to the southwest. The shape of the main island of Taiwan is similar to a sweet potato seen in a south-to-north direction, and therefore, Taiwanese, especially the Min-nan division, often call themselves "children of the Sweet Potato. " The island is characterized by the contrast between the eastern two-thirds, consisting mostly of rugged mountains running in five ranges from the northern to the southern tip of the island, and the flat to gently rolling Chianan Plains in the west that are also home to most of Taiwan's population. Taiwan's highest point is Yu Shan (Jade Mountain) at 3, 952 meters, and there are five other peaks over 3, 500 meters. This makes it the world's fourth-highest island. Taipei is the capital city and economic and cultural centre of the country, and New Taipei is the most populous city.
