My country has a vast land area and many tourist attractions. In addition to inland areas, we also have Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Since ancient times, we have been our inherent territory, and the scenery and economy are very outstanding. As Hong Kong, Macao and Macao return to the motherland, more and more people are traveling to Hong Kong, Macao, but they have little understanding of Taiwan Province. Today, let me tell you about this wanderer who has not returned home and see how much you know about it.
Taiwan Province is located on the continental shelf on the southeast coast of my country. It is the largest island in my country. It is across the Taiwan Strait and Fujian Province to the west, facing the Pacific Ocean in the east, East China Sea to the north, and Bashi Strait and Philippine Islands to the south. The entire Taiwan Province is composed of the largest island in my country, Taiwan Island and Lanyu, Green Island, Diaoyu Island and Penghu Island .
The total population of the province is more than 23.41 million, and most of the population is concentrated in the five major metropolitan areas on Taiwan Island. Among them, the Taipei Metropolitan Area, which is composed of the provincial capital city Taipei City, the largest. The total land area of the province has reached 3.60,000 square kilometers, mainly composed of six municipalities: Taipei, New Taipei , Taoyuan, Taichung , Tainan and Kaohsiung . The six municipalities also have 14 counties including Hsinchu , Changhua, Taitung.
Taiwan Island is the largest island in my country and the 38th largest island in the world. It has a total length of 395 kilometers from north to south and a width of about 145 kilometers from east to west. It is the main island that guards China's North and South Sea Road. It is also the center of the Western Pacific waterway. It is an important transportation hub for my country's maritime connections with various countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The Nanliao Fishing Port in Hsinchu City on Taiwan Island is only 72 nautical miles away from Pingtan Island in Fujian Province, which is 130 kilometers. It is the closest place to Taiwan Island to the mainland.
Taiwan Province has been an inseparable part of our country since ancient times. Mainland military and civilians traveled to Taiwan to operate Taiwan Island as early as the Three Kingdoms period. King Wu Sun Quan sent 10,000 officers and soldiers to Taiwan, which was called Yizhou at that time. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was called Liuqiu . During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Taiwan was regained, and officially renamed Taiwan, and set up Taiwan Prefecture , which belongs to Fujian Province.
Because it is surrounded by the sea on all sides, Taiwan Island has nurtured various coastal terrain, and is the richest and complete place in my country's coastal terrain. The entire island presents a narrow and long island that looks like a banana leaf. The terrain on the island is roughly composed of five major terrains, mountains, hills, basins, plateaus and terraces. The mountains in the east occupy half of the land area of the entire island, making it the fourth highest island in the world.
The island has five major mountains, Central Mountain Range, Yushan Range, Ali Mountain Range and Taitung Mountain Range, which divides the entire Taiwan Island into two parts, with asymmetrical east and west, mountainous mountains in the east, hilly hilly in the middle, and plains in the west.
The eastern mountain range starts from the north of the Central Mountains near Suao, Yilan, and to Eluanbi, the peaks are continuous, and most of the peaks are above 3,000 meters above sea level. There are 7 peaks on Taiwan Island with an altitude of more than 3,800 meters above sea level, of which the highest peak is Yushan, with an altitude of 3,952 meters.
The western part is a plain area formed by major rivers. The Jianan Plain between Changhua and Kaohsiung is the largest plain on Taiwan Island, with an area of 4,550 square kilometers.
Taiwan Province is a developed economy , and is also one of the four Asian dragons . In 2020, it achieved a regional GDP of NT$19.76 trillion, about NT$45855.24 billion, ranking seventh among all provinces and cities in the country. Taiwan Province is an export-oriented island capitalist economy, among which the electronic information industry is at a crucial link in the global industrial chain, among which TSMC, UDian , MediaTek and other companies are among the top international high-tech enterprises.
Although Taiwan Province has a high per capita GDP, the domestic demand market is very small and has few natural resources. Only 24% of the land in the province is suitable for cultivation. The agricultural zones that were developed earlier in the west have now developed into industrial zones. The main cultivation of economic crops is fruits, which are known as the fruit kingdom.
At the same time, Taiwan Province is one of the developed forestry provinces in my country, the forest area accounts for 55% of the total area, and it also has many tree species with economic value, among which Taiwan pine , rubber and camphor tree are the most famous.
Although Taiwan Island is surrounded by the sea, except for the alpine areas, internal and external transportation is very convenient. The entire railway and highway network is spread throughout the province. The most worth mentioning is the national planned and planned high-speed railway from Fuzhou to Taipei. It has been built to Pingtan. The Pingtan Strait High-speed Railway will be built in Pingtan, with a total of 16:34 kilometers. After the construction is successful, the high-speed railway will be directly led to the provincial capital Taipei City.
There are 17 civil airports in the entire Taiwan Island. The airports on the island are generally divided into two operating airports: international airports and provincial airports. Among the four international airports, Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and Kaohsiung International Airport are the main international airports. There are flights between major cities in the province and other countries and regions, forming convenient air travel.
Taiwan is surrounded by the sea, and maritime transportation is of course very convenient. It also relies heavily on maritime transportation. Currently, there are 7 international commercial ports on the island, including Kaohsiung Port , Keelung Port , Taichung Port and Hualien Port as the main ports. Among them, Kaohsiung Port is located in Kaohsiung City. It is the largest port in Taiwan Province and the fifteenth largest port in the world. The port has a large dock of million-ton ships and two 250,000-ton berths, and can be docked with 24 10,000-ton ships. The port cargo throughput is one-third of the entire Taiwan Province.
Taiwan Province is surrounded by sea, with beautiful mountains and rivers in the territory, and green forests are everywhere. It has been known as a beautiful treasure island since ancient times. There are many tourist attractions in the territory, including Taiwan Eight Scenery , which are the most famous for Taiwan Eight Scenery , they are Taipei 101, Taipei Palace Museum, Sun Moon Lake , Alishan , Yushan, Kaohsiung Love River, Kenting and Taroko Canyon.
Among them, the Taipei Palace Museum is also known as the Zhongshan Museum, located in Shilin District, Taipei City. It has a total building area of 160,000 square meters. There are more than 690,000 cultural relics in the entire museum, including Yongle Dictionary , Siku Quanshu and other rare treasures. It is one of the three major museums in China.
Taipei 101 Building , formerly known as Taipei International Financial Center, is located in the center of the Financial and Trade Zone of Xinyi District, Taipei City. It covers a total area of 30,277 square meters. Because the office tower is 101 floors high, it is also called 101 Building , with a total height of 508 meters. It was once the tallest building in Asia and a landmark building in Taipei City.
No matter how foreigners interfere and influence it, Taiwan Province is an inherent territory of our country. This is a certain fact, and as a historical legacy issue is also a matter between the family. As the ties between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait become closer, Taiwan Province is even more inseparable from the embrace of the motherland. I believe that in the near future, this wanderer will return to the embrace of the motherland.
