As can be seen in the image, the three major metropolitan areas in western Taiwan — northern, central, and southern — are brightly lit, connecting with the eastern region starting from Yilan’s lights, outlining the adorable sweet potato shape of Taiwan. Off the northern coast, fishing boats operating at sea resemble scattered stars on the ocean surface, making the beautiful island of Taiwan a sight to behold.
