Taiwan

Taiwan, an island in East Asia with a semi-tropical climate, is a rapidly changing and captivating region. Much like other parts of Asia, Taiwan has a dense population and is highly developed in terms of economics, technology, and transportation. The people of Taiwan are well-educated and well-traveled. Despite this modernisation, the island is home to diverse cultures, and its mountainous interior remains a haven of untouched natural beauty. While Taiwan was previously seen mainly as a destination for business travellers, its unique blend of Chinese tradition and modern influences, along with its stunning ecological wonders and incredibly friendly people, has endeared it to many outsiders.

FAQs

Located astride the Tropic of Cancer, Taiwan's climate is shaped by the East Asian Monsoon. Northern Taiwan experiences a humid subtropical climate, characterized by significant fluctuations in temperatures throughout the year.

On the other hand, central and most of southern Taiwan have a tropical monsoon climate, where the temperature variations are less pronounced, ranging from warm to hot.

During the winter months (November to March), the northeastern region witnesses consistent rainfall, while the central and southern parts of the island enjoy predominantly sunny weather.

The summer monsoon, spanning from May to October, contributes to about 90% of the south's annual precipitation but only around 60% in the north. On average, the island receives approximately 2,600 mm of rainfall annually.
