Introduction of Taiwan Province
The Taiwan Strait has a northeast-southwest direction, communicating the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and the narrowest point is about 130 kilometers, which is a major sea transportation route in China, and about 3/4 of China's sea routes pass through here. The Taiwan Strait is also a major international maritime transportation route and is one of the busiest maritime lifelines in the world. Taiwan adopts the UTC+8 time zone of 120 degrees east longitude, which is the same as Beijing time, Hong Kong time, and Macau standard time used by other Chinese provinces and regions.
The island of Taiwan is located on the Pacific Rim Volcanic Seismic Belt, with many earth faults that are prone to triggering earthquakes, making it one of China's most earthquake-prone regions. The areas with more frequent earthquakes are concentrated in the western, eastern and northeastern parts of Taiwan. Although the number of earthquakes in the western part is small, they are shallow and densely populated, often causing large disasters. The eastern and northeastern part of the frequent earthquakes, but the source of the earthquake is deep, and most of them occur in the sea, thus causing less disaster.
