    Geography
    The landscape at the summit of Siangyang Mountain in southern Taiwan differs greatly from Taiwan's other mountains. (Courtesy of Liao Tai-chi) Taiwan is formally known as the Republic of China (ROC). Founded in 1912, the ROC is Asia's first constitutional republic. The ROC government, led by the Kuomintang (KMT), relocated to Taiwan in 1949 when the Chinese Communist Party established the People's Republic of China (PRC) on the mainland. It has since exercised jurisdiction over Taiwan, Penghu (the Pescadores ¼ê´ò¸s®q), Kinmen (Quemoy ª÷ªù), Matsu °¨¯ª, and numerous other islets. The two sides of the Taiwan Strait have since been governed as separate territories.
    Taiwan
    Off the eastern coast of Asia lie the mountainous island arcs of the Western Pacific. The island chain closest to the continent marks the edge of the Asiatic Continental Shelf. Taiwan, one of the islands of this chain, is the largest body of land between Japan and the Philippines. The island of Taiwan is 394 km long, 144 km at its widest point, and shaped like a tobacco leaf. It is located between 21 deg 53'50" and 25 deg 18'20" N latitude and between 120 deg 01'00" and 121 deg 59'15" E longitude.
