ABOUT ME

-----------------all about taiwan----------------------------

taiwan is also a great country)) when protugee first discovered the island, they called it "Formosa", meaning a beautiful island
people here are friendly, we like to help each other, especailly foreingers

taiwan is located in subtropical eastern asia, we have many high mountains, ex: Jade Mountain, 3,952 metres above sea level, the most highest one in eastern asia, so we have many different special, unique animal and plant species because of the climate and the altitudes.
it's also a mixed-cultural country with mostly Fukken, Hakka desendents, chinese immigrant after civil war in mainland and more than 14 offically recognized groups of aboriginal people, (which are belived to be the origin of "Austronesian" people). we are living in harmony on this lovely island.
even though its not a big island, you can see many distinctive terrain and different cultural aspects of taiwan.

taiwan is a viberant, energetic multi-cultural island, to say the least))
i hope u could someday visit my country
im always looking forward to people's visit. ill be glad to offer travel tips or show you around.
