Map Source
The online map of China's Taiwan Island is sourced from the Atlas of Chinese Physical Geography (Third Edition), chief edited by Liu Guangming, and published by SinoMaps Press. The scale of this map is 1:2,500,000. The complete atlas is divided into twelve sections: Geomorphology and Geology, Climate, Terrestrial Water, Seas, Soil, Biology, Evolution of the Natural Environment, Resources, Comprehensive Physical Geographic Regionalization, Environmental Issues, Major Natural Transformation Projects, and Nature Conservation in China. Each section is subdivided into several units based on natural elements, with each unit consisting of multiple maps, charts, and statistical data.
Administrative Divisions of China's Taiwan Province
The current administrative divisions of the Taiwan region consist of 2 provinces (Taiwan Province and "Fujian Province") and 6 "municipalities directly under the central government" (Taipei City, New Taipei City, Taoyuan City, Taichung City, Tainan City, and Kaohsiung City). Among these, Taiwan Province administers 11 counties and 3 cities, with its provincial capital located in Zhongxing Xincun, Nantou City, Nantou County. "Fujian Province" administers 2 counties, with its "provincial capital" located in Jincheng Township, Kinmen County.
The provincial government functions of "Fujian Province" and Taiwan Province were streamlined in 1956 and 1998 respectively, with most provincial-level government agencies being incorporated into the "central government" to simplify administrative operations, retaining only symbolic functions.
Taipei City is the seat of the highest administrative institution in the Taiwan region and serves as the center for its political, economic, and cultural development.
