Taiwan

One famous building in China is the Great Wall. In fact, it's the one manmade structure that can be seen from outer space. Another famous building is the Potala Palace of Tibet's Dalai Lama. It's an aesthetic, architectural and engineering feat of manmade beauty in the face of steep slopes, rarefied air, and challenging weather.

it is 110 stories to 120 stories the building is about 1,200 feet tall

That's not correct. For now, the world's tallest building -officially- is Taipei 101 (ROC) with 529 meters. However, as soon as Burj Dubai (Dubai Tower in arabic) is finished, it will be recognized as the world's tallest building (818 meters).

oooh.. scientific! lol!

The capital of Taiwan is Taipei.

Taipei is located on the Tamsui River, at the northern tip of Taiwan. Taipei, New Taipei, and Keelung together form the Taipei-Keelung metropolitan area with a population of 6,900,273.

Unlike the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong operates under a capitalist economy, one in which the government rarely, if ever, interferes with private trade. Hong Kong was ranked first in the world in the Index of Economic Freedom for 15 consecutive years since the index began in 1995. Currently still holding the title, it is the only one on the rankings to have ever achieved first place.

Hong Kong is a major trading hub that specializes in importing raw materials and exporting finished products, and is often nicknamed as the "Jewel of China". It is also known as one of the "Four Asian Tigers", a group of significant Asian areas that have rapidly grown in their economy and continues to do so.

Hong Kong also maintains a tax policy that does not include any sales tax, allowing consumers to purchase imported items at a relatively low price when compared to other areas.

Hong Kong is also known for having one of the few major World Trade Centers.

Taiwanese people speak Chinese.

In Chinese, it would be, "你是如此美丽".

Because the capital is called Taipei so they decided to name it after the capital

<<<<

the answer above is not quite right.

the reasons are likely to be:

1. there used to be many immigrants form south east mainland china during the period form 16th century to 18th century and many of them died when crossing the Taiwan strait. so, Taiwan became a place many people died of despite and the pronunciation of "die of despite" in Minnan, a kind of Chinese dialect. thus, Taiwan is so called .

2. the very first place that immigrants disembark form ships was called "Teowan", which was said to be the residence of a division of Plain Aboriginals in Taiwan.

=====================

Answers above are wrong and baseless. Taiwan was first known as "Tayouan." It is believed to be derived from the word "Taian" or "Tayan," which mean "foreigner" in Formosan language spoken by the Siraya people, an indigenous people in Taiwan.

During the Dutch Formosa era, Taiwan was then called "Taioan," which was derived from the Minnan pronunciation of "Tayouan," and later became "Taiwan."

When the Portuguese first saw Taiwan, they called it "Formosa". wich means " beautiful island" that's the first name that Taiwan has. Then the aborigines called it "dayuen" which became " Taiwan"

Natural resources on the islands include small deposits of gold, copper, coal, natural gas, limestone, marble, and asbestos. The island is 55% forests and woodland (mostly on the mountains) and 24% arable land (mostly on the plains), with 15% going to other purposes. 5% is permanent pastures and 1% is permanent crops. Those are some of the resources in Taiwan, but they are NOT every single one, just the most important.

The adjective used to describe something or someone of Taiwan is Taiwanese. This can also include peoples of the nearby islands.

From China's perspective, there is only one China in the world. Taiwan has been a part of China for hundreds of years. They speak the same language, celebrate the same festivals, and have almost the same culture.

The present situation of separation between Taiwan and China mainland is the result of Civil War of China(or Liberation War of China 1946-1950). The former government of China, the KMT party government, fled to Taiwan island because of the total defeat in the mainland. Meanwhile, Communist China had no ability to cross the strait to reunite Taiwan island at that time. In China's view, the problem of Taiwan and China not already being reunited is due to interference from the U.S. government. In 1949, the Chinese government announced that Taiwan is a province of China. Since then, all the countries which want to establish a foreign relationship with PRC must recognize that Taiwan's belonging to China. The UN also recognizes that Taiwan belongs to China. In Taiwan's society today, DPP politicians who are absolute supporters of Taiwan's independence are in control, but a number of Taiwanses people believe there is only one China and that Taiwan is part of it. For economic reasons, as well as avoiding war, Taiwan should not be independent. Only the reunification of Taiwan with China will give Taiwan a more broader future. It is advantagous to mainland China that reunification with Taiwan take place because the Taiwanese people speak standard Chinese and know deeply about China. Mastering Chinese will be rather important in the future. So Taiwan maintaining a close relationship with mainland China will be the best what it can be. It isn't that the people or government of Taiwan see no cultural connection between the two countries; it's just that people are reluctant to give up their rights and submit to the rule of an autocratic government.

Also, the threat of force has been made by China, and this certainly doesn't make the mainland seem any more appealing. (Taiwan has also put on military displays on their coast, so both countries are guilty of provoking the other.)

As for the question of whether China has any right to claim Taiwan as its own, I've always thought that the claim made by China is flawed: Taiwan was a part of China in imperial times, and it was part of the Republic of China, but it was never a part of the People's Republic of China. The People's Republic was created by the people's struggle against the KMT, and that struggle never took place in Taiwan. A Communist government is, by definition, supposed to have been chosen by the people, not forced upon them by the Communist government of a neighboring region. For this reason, it seems illogical to suggest that just because it was a part of China's former incarnations, Taiwan should be considered a part of this most recent one. (The same could be said of Tibet.)

Hinahanap ko nga ehh saan ba pwede mag hanap?

In Mandarin it would be: xìexìe 謝謝; in Taiwanese dialect something like: dōō hsia.

You mean work or recreation?

In terms of work, Taiwan has transformed from a industrial sector heavy society to a service heavy society, over 70% of the population is employed in what would be classified as service sector.

In terms of industry, Taiwan is most famous for making computer related products. most of the worlds' notebooks and thinks like IPhone are made in Taiwan.

In terms of recreation, Taiwan is pretty big on basketball and baseball, non-sports outdoors recreation is mostly hiking and in recent years bicycles have become very popular again.

The Taiwanese are Chinese and they weren't prohibited from engaging their culture as was the case on the main land. so it stand to reason that it would.

Taiwan, officially called the Republic of China, was originally part of China. After the communist revolution took hold of China, the existing government and those persecuted by the regime, fled the mainland and set up on the island of Taiwan.

Mao then formed the Peoples Republic of China.
