The Geography of Taiwan explained

[@denzelurieta9206]

Been to Taiwan last week and I really thought that its geology is interesting - lots of the rock formations are exposed as though it recently sprung up. Glad to stumble upon this video! Great work in simplifying these concepts

[@yijielee9219]

Beautiful. Taiwan has always been a bit of a mystery.

Beautiful country, I visited some years ago. Highly recommend. The mountains make the whole country very scenic. Do the Caucasus next :)

[@Chris.in.taiwan]

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.

taiwan is only a province

[@LipiokTan]

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.

[@quofeng]

00:28 這個圖把台灣劃入菲律賓板塊中是錯誤的，實際上菲律賓板塊是在花東縱谷東方和屏東地區，台灣大部分區域是位於歐亞大陸板塊。

[@brokeafengineerwannabe2071]

The rivers flowing in Taipei actually wreaked havoc on the city many times, especially during Typhoon seasons. They were shallow but twisty, often incapable of absorbing any extra flows. Much modern city planning in Taipei revolves around strengthening the rivers and reclaiming hazardous lands to use.

Taiwan, an island located in East Asia, is known for its diverse geography. On a *geography map*, Taiwan is situated off the southeastern coast of China, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the east and the Taiwan Strait to the west. The island is characterized by rugged mountains, coastal plains, and fertile valleys, offering a rich variety of landscapes despite its relatively small size.

[@nrm224]

Great video

[@huasheng9695]

02:08 the typhoons actually rotate counterclockwise

[@0815michik]

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.

[@FactSpark]

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
