Location
Taiwan is situated just off the southeastern coast of mainland Asia. Near to Japan on its north side and the Philippines to the south. Clockin in at just over 14,400 square miles Taiwan is a convenient microcosm of culture, industry and entertainment.
Medical Tourism Fame
Taiwan is expanding its horizons and one way is taking advantage of the market offering both medical care services plus tourism options.
Climate
Taiwan's tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate climates provide clear differentiation between the different seasons.
Taiwan enjoys warm weather all year round. The strongest fluctuations in weather conditions are during spring and winter, while during summer and autumn the weather is relatively stable. Taiwan´s annual average temperature is 22 degrees Celsius with the lowest temperatures ranging from 12 to 17 degrees Celsius (54-63 Fahrenheit). Therefore, with the exception of a few mountain areas where some traces of snow can be found during winter, no snow can be seen throughout Taiwan.
When summer is coming (March to May), continuously drizzling rain will sometimes fall on Taiwan. During the summer (June to August) typhoons sometimes reach the island. During this period we suggest you keep an eye on weather reports, because during typhoon weather the roaring waves at the coast are not to be regarded as one of Taiwan's tourist scenes. During autumn (September to October) you can enjoy the cool weather. Taiwan has a relatively warm and short winter (November to February)
