Taiwan - Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions
Exercise normal precautions in Taiwan.
Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan, is situated in the Taipei Basin in the northern part of the island. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, including the Yangmingshan National Park to the north, the city is nestled between the Keelung and Xindian rivers. This strategic location provides natural protection and ample water resources. The landscape of Taipei itself is relatively flat, with most of the city built on the alluvial plains of the basin. However, some hilly areas can be found in the outskirts, particularly in the southern districts. The city's climate is humid subtropical, with hot and humid summers and mild winters. Due to its location in the Pacific Rim, Taipei experiences occasional typhoons, mainly during the summer months. Learn more about teaching English in Taiwan.
