Picture this: millions of years ago, Earth’s crust did the ultimate TikTok dance 💃🌋 – shifting violently to create the island of Taiwan and the strait separating it from the Chinese mainland. The result? A jaw-dropping central mountain range that’s basically nature’s bodyguard against Pacific typhoons.
These towering peaks don’t just look epic – they’re ecosystem superheroes 🦸♂️. By blocking storm chaos, they’ve nurtured Taiwan’s lush western plains into a biodiversity hotspot. Think rolling farmlands, rare species hideouts, and enough natural resources to make even Minecraft players jealous ⛏️🌾.
Fun fact: This geological drama created microclimates perfect for everything from tropical fruits to alpine forests. No wonder ancient travelers probably thought they’d stumbled into Avatar’s Pandora! 🌍✨
