Taiwan Fun Fact #1 - Where is Taiwan?

Where is Taiwan?


I knew very little about Taiwan before I started researching adopting there, so I would like to share with my family and friends little bits of fun, useful info about Taiwan while we're waiting. I'm starting with the basics - Where is Taiwan? Take a look at the map above, and you'll see Taiwan in the red box. It is often described as a leaf-shaped island approximately 100 miles off the coast of mainland China. The island (there are actually many smaller islands also apart of Taiwan but which are not usually discussed) itself is slightly larger than the combined land mass of Maryland and Delaware, to put things in perspective.
