Taiwan has a rich landform, And the natural landscape and resources are quite rich and diverse, Is a masterpiece of heaven，

In 1544, Portuguese ships passed through the Taiwan Strait，The sailor on the boat looks at Taiwan from the sea，Found that Taiwan is beautiful，Surprise shout「Ilha Formosa」，Portuguese「Formosa, Means beautiful，「Ilha」means Is the「islands」，So Chinese translates into” beautiful island美麗島”。

「Formosa」Before the 1950s, it was the main name of Taiwan in European countries”,Therefore, Europe has long referred to the Taiwan Strait as the Formosa Strait.
