The geographical feature of Taiwan is the high mountain island!
Take Beibeiji as an example. Taiwan’s Beibeiji is surrounded by hundreds of hills of different shapes and densely covered with trails. Looking internationally, metropolitan cities with the same environment are extremely rare and are world-class unique assets.

The topography of the Taiwan plate is young, with more than 200 mountains over 3,000 meters tall. Japan, which is ten times larger than Taiwan, has only about 20. The density of Taiwan’s mountains is a hundred times that of Japan. Let go of the familiar horizon and climb a mountain above 3,000 meters at least once in your life. There is nothing you can’t handle after climbing a mountain.

Outsiders may be better able to see the beauty of Taiwan’s unique mountains, forests and terrain than locals. The “Lonely Planet” Taiwan travel book, written for Europeans and Americans, introduces the “Top Ten Highlights of Taiwan”, including mountain climbing and Taipei tourism related to natural scenery. Lu Ge and jungle adventures on the east coast accounted for most of the itinerary, far ahead of the Taiwanese snacks that most people consider internationally famous.
Taiwan has 268 mountains above 3,000 meters, compared with more than 20 in New Zealand, which is seven times the size, and only more than 10 in Japan, which is 10 times the size. God accidentally missed a game of chess, and mountains stood in layers on this 36,000-square-kilometer island.
“No matter where you live, you can always see mountains,” said Jimmy Mai, director of “MIT Taiwan Chronicles” who has long used videos to record the beauty of Taiwan’s mountains and forests. “Taiwan is mountainous, which is a unique feature in itself.”

From low altitude to high altitude, Taiwan’s mountain forests are like a capsule, condensing tropical to temperate climates, from broadleaf forests, coniferous forests to alpine prairie; preserving glaciers such as red cypress, Taiwanese mountain pepper fish, and cherry blossom Gelsemium salmon. Relic creatures; the ancient roads that stretch across the mountainside have also locked up the long historical conflicts and ethnic conflicts in the mountains and forests.

Formosa is truly the Pearl of the Orient. The most beautiful thing about it is the vibrant camphor forest, as well as the huge cypress and tall Taiwanese cedar growing on the rugged and steep mountains. ”——Ernest H. Wilson

Taiwan has been a beautiful island in the Western world for centuries. It is also the most beautiful green pearl in the plant world of East Asia according to Wilson. Because it has both relict and alpine plant species, it is like a microcosm of East Asian flora. Thanks to its geographical location, Taiwan became one of the important plant refuges in East Asia during the Ice Age due to the harmony of ocean water vapor and subtropical climate.

In a land area of only 36,000 square kilometers, many representative relict plants in East Asia’s flora are gathered here. Although the island’s landform is no more than 6 million years old, its native plants have deep hidden treasures. Natural history can be traced back tens of millions of years to the origin of plants in East Asia.
On the other hand, Taiwan is also a rare high-mountain island on the surface. To many botanists, mountains may be the most precious and unique natural asset that the earth has given to Taiwan. More than 200 peaks above 3,000 meters have created additional three-dimensional space for the small island. The complex topography and microclimate are the driving forces that can drive the diversity of plants. Taiwan now has more than a thousand species. Endemic plants.
It is worth noting that the alpine zone above the alpine tree line is where Taiwan’s endemic phenomena are most prominent. More than half of the alpine plants are endemic to Taiwan, making the alpine plants they constitute the most unique species in Taiwan. One of the unique ecological landscapes.

Compared with other high mountain islands in the East Asian island arc, the subtropical Taiwan high mountains are like a station for plant exchanges due to their special geographical location. This is the far east of the Hengduan Mountains where alpine plants can reach, and it is the end point for many northern temperate plants to migrate south. It is also a place where travelers from the southern hemisphere accidentally come to stay.
Because of these historical coincidences, naturalists who have been to Taiwan Island have all found surprises in the mountains of Taiwan. They thought they were just landing on an isolated island in the sea, but they seemed to see the entire northern hemisphere’s vegetation on the island. Essence.
