Lishan Village

Taiwan's terrain ranges from fertile plains along the western coast to steep mountains in the interior, concentrating much of its population on the lowlands. The Central Mountain Range runs through the island, while the Pacific meets a more rugged eastern shoreline and the Taiwan Strait lies to the west. Taipei combines contemporary city life with major cultural institutions: the National Palace Museum preserves an extensive collection of Chinese imperial art. Across Taiwan, night markets are central to everyday eating, serving regional snacks alongside familiar staples. Tea cultivation, especially in upland areas, remains an enduring part of the island's food culture. Explore nearby locations that provide complementary perspectives on Taiwan.
