The central mountain range which runs the length of the main island of Taiwan, divides the east and west of the island and dominating two-thirds of the land surface. The coastal plains of the west coast are home to about 80 percent of Taiwan’s population. Overlying the tropical and subtropical zones, Taiwan sports a tropical climate with a temperate climate in the north-land and the mountainous regions. Taiwan’s location is also subject to annual typhoons, which occur between the months of July and October. These consist of strong winds and heavy rain.

Values are changing, especially in urban areas. Since industrialization, women enjoy greater freedom and a higher social status, individual creativity is regarded as equally important as social conformity.
