Taiwan Nature
Taiwan's 36,000 square kilometers holds a population of 23 million people, making it one of the most densely populated countries in the world, It is also known for its rapid industrialization in the early 1960's and now the high tech industry.
Often overlooked is Taiwan's stunning geographic features and spectacular biodiversity.
Taiwan stretches to 394km and at the widest is only 144km, but on this thin slice of land, there are over 250 peaks over 3,000 meters ...

I’m still surprised by the number of people who — after finding out I’m from Canada — will say that Canada is so beautiful and yet they have scenes like this right in their back yards. I think most Taiwanese people just don’t see Taiwan the same way we see it. Or they’re not looking hard enough.
Yes I found the same! Even though I never had the opportunity to come up on the top of some mountains when I was in Taiwan but just seeing the mountains that surround Yilan I felt awe. But talking about this with Taiwanese they couldn’t understand what I felt.
Thanks, 林莉娜! Yilan is a stunning place.
It’s just that people typically like what is different. There are many people here in Canada who don’t think our country is especially beautiful, because they are so accustomed to seeing it everyday.
SUPER! ))
