Turtle Mountain Island, located 10 kilometers off the coast of Toucheng in Yilan County, Taiwan, looks like a turtle floating in the sea, hence its name. The island has high cliffs, steaming fumaroles, welling underwater hot springs, mountain peaks, sea-eroded caves, a lake, and unique cliff vegetation, as well as a rich marine ecology. Since the Ching Dynasty, Turtle Mountain Island has been famous for its runrises. The best place to watch this spectacular sunrise is from Toucheng Beach or the mouth of the Lanyang River, between April and September.

Taiwan officially recognizes nine distinct indigenous groupings, a total of 400,000 people (about 2 percent of the entire population.) Twenty peoples of Austronesian extraction were living in Taiwan for centuries before the Chinese made any significant inroads in the island.

June 21, 2002, Hong Kong. A very nice and hot Friday afternoon. Brazil faces England in the quarterfinals. Your friends are in Japan watching the game. Still, there are many places you can catch the game from Hong Kong. One of them is Times Square, one of Hong Kong's major shopping malls.
