Taiwan is a mountainous island off south-east Asia, separated from the mainland by a strait. Taipei is known for the Taipei 101 tower, night markets and the National Palace Museum. The interior holds Taroko Gorge and Sun Moon Lake, while the east coast drops in cliffs to the ocean. Typhoons are possible in summer and early autumn, so cooler months are preferred.
