"The island of Taiwan presents a varied natural and topographical context, characterized by a land area of 36,197 square kilometers and a high population density of 644 people per square kilometer. Its geological location, situated on the edges of the Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates, has resulted in a predominantly mountainous and rugged topography. While this forces the majority of the 23 million residents to inhabit large urban centers on the western coastal plains, the island maintains an active agricultural sector, with approximately 22% of its land allocated to farming."

Taiwan occupies 36,197 square kilometers and supports about 23 million people, producing a high population density of 644 people per square kilometer. The island sits at the convergence of the Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates, producing predominantly mountainous and rugged terrain across much of its area. The steep topography constrains settlement patterns, concentrating most residents in large urban centers along the western coastal plains. Despite limited flat land, an active agricultural sector persists, with approximately 22% of Taiwan's land area allocated to farming and cultivation.
