What's so interesting about Taiwan is that there used to be serveal cross Island highways. One of them, the 知本林道 once connected Pingtung in the west with Taidong in the east. This road was developed by the Japanese during the 1930s. Once there were actually vehicles able to pass through. Now very little is left, and the road has been mostly forgotten. Still, japanese artifacts like bottles and other items can still be found in the mountains.
A few corrections: 3:58 雪山山脈 should be either spelled "Hsueh Shan Range" or "Xueshan Range", "Xiashan" is incorrect. 4:47 Taiwan's de facto first level of subdivision are municipalities, cities, and counties. Province is now "frozen" and not in use in daily life. The three counties in the east are Yilan County, Hualien County, and Taitung County from north to south. 8:16 "Hehuanshan" (合歡山) misspelled without an n after the first a. 8:21 Usually "Taiwan Strait" instead of "Taiwanese Strait". 8:56 "Jianan Basin" or "Jianan Plain" (嘉南平原), "jia" was mispronounced as "yah" instead of sounding something like "dja" as in "jar". 9:03 The definition of Pingtung Plain was wrongly stretched across the Gaoping River. Jianan plain continues until it hits the border of Pingtung County. I never heard that the division was between Zengwen River.
I discovered this channel some weeks ago and I've already binged watched every video. Phisical geography videos aren't so common. Furthermore, they are so high quality and even the visual part is so good. Really appreciate these videos. PS: I hope one day there will be a video about the Alps geography
I agree, I find it hard to find detailed geography explanations of other lesser know countries or areas. Even if he doesn't go super in depth, it's a very good basis for knowing an area, and where to research next if ur interested.
Love your insights in this vid. I suggest you make a video about the geography of the Philippines next. You’ll notice that the geography there is as diverse as it can get 😊
@@RedSpark both Taiwan and USA benefit from Taiwan being independent. Both economies rely hugely on that industry. If China gets a piece of that pie, USA's economy will be in deeper shit, because companies like IBM and Apple would have their raw material prices jacked up.
Can we make a video about the Black Sea geography? I find it interesting cause The Black Sea is the only one where there's no circulation between its upper and lower layers of water. Also there are not that many videos covering its geography at all, so it would be nice to have at least one video about the Black Sea. Thanks for your attention.
Good content. But you used the wrong stock footage too often. Many of the scenes where not the places or events described, sometimes being even outside of Taiwan, like showing the earthquake from Turkey. I think that can be highly problematic for an information channel and would encourage you to use more accurate stock footage and images in the future.
Those are unfortunately the sacrifices I have to make when I have a limited budget. Niche stock footage is hard to come by at an affordable price and I'm not able to travel all the places I want to make videos about
This is a great dive into the amazing geography of Taiwan! I feel like most people really don't understand how amazing and varied are the landscapes of the island.
Hello, fellow Taiwanese. I work in the tourism industry, and I would like to ask if there is any place with flat and open terrain that can accommodate 4,000 to 5,000 people coming ❤❤❤
Japanese presences in Taiwan before WWII was a legitimate ruling not occupation! Japan obtain Taiwan through a solid international treaty while Chiang Kai shek came from china to control Taiwan is a real occupation! The name of the treaty is “Treaty of Shimonoseki”. Please be precise in your language!

非常感謝你，誇獎台灣。👍👍
Had no idea Taiwan was so mountainous. Great videos wish they were longer 👍
Yh most dense island in the world for mountains over 3000 ,crazy
They also have their own native people. Look and lived very similar to the ones one North American

@@AsianSP the chain of Islands all the way from Indonesia to Japan. Are simaler people.
I call them" water people"

Thx
Beautiful. Taiwan has always been a bit of a mystery.
I live in TW. Great video! i learned a few things.
Beautiful country, I visited some years ago. Highly recommend. The mountains make the whole country very scenic. Do the Caucasus next :)
Totally agree and I went to Georgia last week, so the Caucasus is on the to-do list. Absolutely stunning nature
beautiful province ✅
@@Qx2710 that statement does not show the truth to the world
@@Qx2710 yes,it's a province of ROC ,Not the PRC ,remember to write it out
@@ph8599 So it's a province of China.
From up the sky, (from a satellite) the island looks like a leaf🍃 Beautiful.

YES, TAIWAN MENTIONED!!! 💪💪💪💪💪💪
TOP research and editing as always
Such a high quality channel. Keep it up man
Timing could not have been better! I just arrived in Taiwan yesterday!
Welcome to Taiwan！Hope you enjoy a wonderful journey here.

I hope to one day visit this beautiful island, and be able to learn more about the Taiwanese culture.
Awesome video. Thank you for making this.
2:30 The actual situation is that after the Kuomintang government came to Taiwan, the amount of deforestation was seven times of Japan.
There is no other way，otherwise how are you going to recover from the miserable economy and the war damage in various cities？
日本人把最好的千年神木砍走了！國民黨破樹區也都種回很多樹！台灣小島能夠成為世界最強的高科技產業國家，都是靠國民黨打造出來的！
The cost of economic growth? Bad KMT!
The fruit of economic growth? Thanks DPP!
What a nice video, love how detailed it was. Thanks a lot!
What a complete and understandable introduction of TAIWAN.

Great video once again!
Can you make on the geography of the Netherlands? More than just "flat"
This is exactly the content I can’t stop watching ❤❤❤❤
I'm proud to be a Taiwanese and proud of my country Taiwan.
我也是👍👍
Very interesting video!
This video is very well made.
Thanks for the short to the point educational study.
I freaking love geography, and this video was everything I hoped it would be and more. Great information.

Thank you so much fir your great❤ work can you do Morocco's geography next time?!
i love and support the coutry of taiwan 🤟😎💗🔥
Taiwan is a sovereign and Independent Country,
Of course they are, so America could monopolize the semiconductor/microchip industry.
Not officially but practically it is
Stfu, we already have a Palestine. Who’s morals are you using to justify your existence?
@@delonteeast7955it’s… a bit more nuanced than that 😅 (and the other way around).

Great video, thanks
This education is as good as it gets.
Please make a video about the Philippines too.. thank you
Fun Fact: There are many important cities located right on the Tropic of Cancer especially in Asia.
Very interesting and good job but can we have more satellite view and images ? Would be better to imagine the country and dreams
I mean all your images arrived at the end. The beginning of he video looks too much like a GIS course and not a yt video
Please do Indonesia someday
Can you do the geography of Ireland next
coast topography of Taiwan is various, could make a film to introduce it
Taiwan is mentioned, let's gooooo
值得挑戰上山下海大自然樂趣
Requesting an episode for the Philippines
One episode? Are you joking?
Please do Geography of the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
This is a great dive into the amazing geography of Taiwan! I feel like most people really don't understand how amazing and varied are the landscapes of the island.
You forgot kinmen and matsu islands
Next Indonesia please
Forth tallest mountain in the world? Maybe Forth tallest in East Asia?
4th tallest mountain located on an island
Taiwan‘s country name is ROC(republic of China)
7:43 TSMC in Taoyuan????!!!
Taiwan is an island,Roc is the country.
ROC is an exiled government temporarily resided in Taiwan which belongs to PRC mainland China!

My favorite islands are Habomai, Shikotan, Kunashiri, Iturup 😂😂

Taiwan is a country, but ROC is not.
Taiwan is a province, roc is a country.
Taiwan is an American puppet regime which has vassalized the Chinese province of Fujian.
Taiwan was a country but only 1895, and now a province of China, the so-called ROC nowadays is dead like Qing Dynasty😂
What a joke😂
ROC is the government, Taiwan is the country.
Taiwan seems sick
Most beautiful province in China! I love Taiwan province!
LOL, wumao!
@@Xiaengao Yes, you are.
Thank you for your hard work. 🎉🎉🎉
台灣加油⛽😊
台灣是個海島移民國家,近四百年來受大清帝國,荷蘭,法國,西班牙,英國,美國,日本等各國文化衝擊洗禮才有今日多元樣態.
今日台灣的自由民主體制亦非一日可蹴,歷經帝制,殖民,黨國獨裁專制,戒嚴,228事件,白色恐怖,
民主演化進程也犧牲無數民主前輩血汗與生命換得.
自由民主台灣的特色: 多元多樣,混雜包容,以人為本.
1895年李鴻章在春帆樓上簽署馬關條約,將台灣『永遠』割讓給日本. 從畫押的那一刻起台灣和中國就毫無瓜葛了.
二戰之後,日本將台灣交給美國,國際法上台灣成了美國的託管國.這是目前台灣的現實狀況.
至於台灣未來,是要自立建國,或成為美國的一州,或由美國重新歸還日本,都和1949年才成立的中共毫不相干.
目前國際法上,台灣就是美國的託管國,地位宛如美國交給台灣人自治的特别州！
兩岸具體現實狀況 : 台灣中國,一邊一國,互不隸屬,中共敢侵犯台灣就是侵略！
1911中華民國創立(在中國)
1949中華人民共和國創立(在中國)
1949中華民國(中國)敗逃至台灣
1996中華民國(在台灣)沿用國號舉行直接民選總統李登輝
2000----2008中華民國(台灣)總統陳水扁
2008----2016中華民國(台灣)總統馬英九
2016----2024中華民國(台灣)總統蔡英文
2024----2028中華民國(台灣)總統賴清德
1945二戰後台灣已是獨立政治實體國家,至於"中華民國"國號爭議,
在自由民主體制下須經正名修憲或制憲程序方能消彌.
1949--2000中國國民黨屬反共政黨,2000以後中國國民黨由親中轉媚共,舔共跪匪,仇台恨台政黨!

1949--1996是中國國民黨以黨國專政獨裁形式統治台灣,所以美國務卿今年在賴總統就職賀詞才稱第五位台灣總統!
可知美國重視與認定的是具有真正代表台灣民意選出的總統!
