Taiwan is an island in East Asia, but the term Taiwan is also used to collectively refer to territories governed by the Republic of China (ROC), which include the island of Taiwan, Lanyu (Orchid Island) and Green Island in the Pacific coast off the Taiwan island, the Pescadores in the Taiwan Strait, and Kinmen and Matsu off the coast of mainland Fujian.
Taipei City is the capital of the Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC) and one of the largest cities on Taiwan island. It is Taiwan's political, commercial, and cultural centre. It is officially the provisional capital of the ROC, with Nanjing, a city of the People's Republic of China, being the official stated capital.
According to the census data collected in March of 2006, the total population in Taipei City (excluding Taipei County) is 2,618,058.
In 2005 A Taiwanese geologist said the huge weight of the world's tallest building, Taipei 101, could be responsible for triggering a rise in seismic activity. Lin Cheng-horng suggests ground stress from the 508m-tall building may have reopened an ancient earthquake fault/ This could be the reason for what he says is a recent sharp increase in seismic activity in the Taipei basin. Writing in the scientific journal Geophysical Research Letters, he urges further investigation and monitoring. Mr Lin says the 101-storey skyscraper, which was completed a year ago and is anchored by enormous concrete and steel columns, may have reactivated a fault line. According to Mr Lin, it weighs 700,000 metric tons and exerts a stress on the ground below of 4.7 bars - some of which would be transferred to the earth's upper crust due to extremely soft sedimentary rocks beneath the Taipei basin.

2004 A French climber who calls himself "Spiderman" edged his way to

almost double his estimate.
