Taiwan is an island nation located in East Asia, off the southeastern coast of China. It’s known for its vibrant cities, stunning natural landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. The capital, Taipei, is home to the iconic Taipei 101 skyscraper, a hub of technology, shopping, and cuisine. Taiwan’s landscapes range from lush mountains and forests to beautiful coastlines. The island is also famous for its night markets, delicious street food (like bubble tea and dumplings), and its unique blend of traditional Chinese culture with modern influences.
