Geography
¡@From mainland China, Taiwan is only 160 km across the Taiwan Straits. The
length of the island is 395 km, and the width is 144 km. The total area is
about 36,000 sq. km.
The mountains rise straight out of the sea on Taiwan's east coast. 90 % of
Taiwanese live on the west of this island, where the land is plain and fertile.
¡@Penghu, Lanyu, Green, Liuchiu, Kinmen, Matsu, and Wuchiu islands are also
controlled by Taiwan.
¡@Taipei, in northern Taiwan, is the political, economic and cultural center
of the Republic of China. Kaohsiung, Tainan and Taichung are main industrial
cities, lying on the west side of the island.
