Long before the settlement of Han Chinese, Taiwan was already known as a beautiful island in East Asia called Formosa. Situated in the Western Pacific Ocean, this 36,000-square-kilometer island is home to amazing ecological diversity. The island’s 23 million population consists mainly of aboriginals and Hans migrants. The national trait of Taiwanese is rooted in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which also contribute to Taiwanese culture. Experiencing Taiwanese food, night market, and fruits is also a good way to discover Taiwanese characteristics. The climate and geographical environment enable the development of traditional industries in Taiwan to be prosperous and productive. Taiwan may not be easily found on a world map, but the achievement of Taiwan’s high-tech industries can hardly be ignored by the world.

Kaohsiung City is the second largest city of Taiwan and is located in Taiwan’s southwest. Kaohsiung is also a harbor city and stands as Taiwan’s largest international port and the world’s 6th largest container port. The subtropical climate and sea breeze make Kaohsiung a charming place to live.
