Taiwan is an island, approximately the size of the Netherlands or Florida, located across the Taiwan Strait from mainland China. More than 20 million people live on the island, so it is generally quite crowded. Taiwan can refer to the Republic of China (ROC): the political entity currently governing Taiwan, the Pescadores, Quemoy, and Matsu. (Description by Wikitravel.org)
