臺灣以高山聳立聞名國際，是個有名的『高山島嶼』。三千公尺以上的高山，比比皆是，而將近四千公尺的玉山，更是東北亞的第一高峰。也因地理資源的豐沛，臺灣擁有許多特殊地形及奇特的地理景觀。

除了高山外，還有優美的海岸風光。北起擁有各類特殊海岸地形的東北角及宜蘭海岸國家風景區、北海岸及觀音山國家風景區，沿途山青水秀、天藍海深，廣闊的海天視野乃是此段的特色。經過風光明媚的東部海岸國家風景區及花東縱谷國家風景區的綠色走廊，其景色令人讚嘆與驚喜。一路往南，可達陽光四溢、具南國風味的大鵬灣國家風景區，就順著山勢還可一逛原民風情的茂林國家風景區，一探臺灣蝴蝶世界、魯凱石屋及大自然美景。

Taiwan is famous for its towering mountains, with dozens of peaks rising upwards of 3,000 meters and one, the scenic Yushan (Jade Mountain), reaching to nearly 4,000 meters, making it Northeast Asia's highest peak. The geographical richness of Taiwan is especially evident in the mountain areas of the island with their unique landscapes and scenic charms.

One can also discover stunning scenic views on the beautiful coasts of Taiwan. The Northeast and Yilan Coast National Scenic Area and North Coast and Guanyinshan National Scenic Area stretch between green mountains and the deep blue sea, offering expansive ocean vistas. And the arboreal passageways at the East Coast and East Longitudinal Valley National Scenic Area will cause wonder and delight. In the sun-soaked south Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area awaits with its tropical charms. And the mountainous Maolin National Scenic Area welcomes you into a world of aboriginal culture, butterflies, the stone houses of the Rukai and nature's scenic beauty.
