Welcome to Taiwan Province Taiwan has always been inalienable from the Chinese mainland. Although development in Taiwan began later than in China's coastal provinces, the island early developed overseas trade relations. In its modern history, foreign invasion and plunder of the island has left traces of colonialism on its process of economic development. The history of Taiwan can be divided into the following stages: its ancient period; its early development from the Three The Dutch Surrenderde to Zheng Cheng Gong Kingdoms (220-280) to the early Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368); its development during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and Dutch colonial rule (1624-1662); its development during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), and Japanese colonial rule (1895-1945), and from 1945 onwards.

Northeast Coast National Scenic Area The Northeast Coast National Scenic Area is located in the northeast corner of Taiwan, stretching 66 kilometers from Nanyali in Taipei county to Beigangkou in Ilan county. It encompasses 9,450 hectares of land and 4,275 hectares of sea. This scenic area is noted for its numerous capes and bays backed by green mountains. Its attractions include spectacular rock formations, unique sea-eroded landforms, beaches of fine golden sand, a rich diversity of marine life, and an unspoiled cultural heritage. It is a multipurpose tourist destination that serves the dual functions of a fascinating natural classroom and an enchanting coastal playground. Keelung: Historic Harbor of the North Dubbed "rainy harbor" for its many wet days, Keelung is located near the northern tip of the island of Taiwan. Its superb natural harbor cuts southward into rolling mountains, leaving only narrow strips of flatland bordering the water. Its terrain has thus destined it to be a small and confined city, although it is the second largest harbor in Taiwan. It is so small and confined that a visitor cannot get lost in it, for he or she will meet the water of the harbor or run into one of the surrounding hills in a few hundred yards at most no matter what direction is taken. The visitor's eye can hardly avoid seeing cranes busily loading and unloading trucks and ships with the standard large containers. This harbor thunks, screeches, and drones with activity 24 hours a day. The streets of the town are lined with drab buildings in raw concrete containing shops which extend their business onto the sidewalk and beyond, and fishing wharves dot a long stretch of shoreline--showing that Keelung is a hard-working city and a major port.
