Introduction to Taiwan's Environment

　　Taiwan, an island surrounded by oceans, features mountainous terrain that creates diverse microclimates ranging from sea level to above 3,000 meters, supporting the growth of various flower varieties. Its geographical position across the Tropic of Cancer, combined with tropical and subtropical climates, allows Taiwan to cultivate various flowers including tropical orchids, subtropical chrysanthemums, and temperate lilies. High rainfall and monsoon climate provide abundant water for flowers, while also driving farmers to develop modern windbreak, drainage, and shading facilities, establishing technological advantages in facility agriculture. With Taiwan's high population density averaging 650 people per square kilometer and limited arable land, these natural and human conditions combined with Taiwan's advanced agricultural research system have enabled it to develop a diverse, high-quality floriculture industry.
