Little Taiwan, Small island in Taiwan Strait, Taiwan.
Little Taiwan is a small island in the Taiwan Strait with steep mountains on its eastern edge and gentler slopes toward the western coast. The eastern side features dramatic ridges while agricultural flatlands extend toward the western shoreline.
This island was formed millions of years ago by tectonic plate collision at the western boundary of the Philippine Sea. This ongoing geological activity continues to shape how the land moves and develops today.
The western plains show farming traditions where people grow rice, sugarcane, and specialized crops using methods passed down through generations. These practices shape how the land looks and how communities connect with their surroundings.
The western coastal areas offer good conditions for land and water activities with easier access. The eastern mountain regions require more effort to navigate due to their steep terrain and elevation changes.
The island experiences thousands of earthquakes annually, making it one of the most geologically active regions in East Asia. This intense seismic activity is something visitors can feel and notice reflected in how buildings are designed.
