The main island of Taiwan is situated approximately 100 miles off the southeastern coast of mainland China, south of Japan and north of the Philippines.  The shape of  Taiwan resembles a sweet potato and has an area of approximately 14,000 square miles.  It is 245 miles long (north to south) and 90 miles wide.  There are several smaller islands dotted around the main island.

The central and eastern areas of Taiwan are home to  tropical and subtropical mountain ranges, with a number of peaks ranging between  3,500 meters to 3,952 meters.  This makes Taiwan the world's seventh-highest island.  The western side is typically mainly made up of rolling plains and plateaus.

Taiwan is comprised of 16 counties and 5 provincial cities.  Taipei is the capital city. 

Temperatures in the north part of the island are a little lower than that of the south, but the difference tends to be only a few degrees. 

The Tropic of Cancer divides the island roughly in half, so the north has a subtropical monsoon climate while the south has a tropical monsoon climate. The monsoons bring more that 2,500 millimeters of rain fall every year.

From about mid August to mid October there is also a risk of typhoons. While typhoons come close every year, relatively few actually hit the island.  Fortunately, even when typhoons do hit, they cause very limited damage to buildings are they are designed to withstand even the most severe storms.  Usually, the most disruption a typhoon will cause is that you are advised to stay at home until the storm has passed.
