A captivating bird's-eye view of the island of Taiwan, captured around the year 1903 during the Japanese occupation. This evocative image showcases the unique topography of the island, with its verdant mountains, winding rivers, and sprawling delta. At the heart of the scene lies Taipei, the vibrant capital city, its urban sprawl a stark contrast to the natural beauty that surrounds it. Dominating the landscape is Yushan, also known as Mount Yu or Jade Mountain, the highest peak in Taiwan. Standing tall at an impressive 3,952 meters (12,966 feet), Yushan is a symbol of Taiwan's rugged terrain and natural grandeur. The mountain's snow-capped summit glistens in the sunlight, casting a spellbinding allure that draws the eye and beckons adventurers and nature lovers alike. The Japanese occupation of Taiwan, which lasted from 1895 to 1945, brought about significant changes to the island, including modernization and infrastructure development. This aerial photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective of Taiwan's cities, mountains, and delta during a pivotal period in its history. The stylistic composition of this print, with its crisp lines and intricate details, transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of Taiwan as it was over a century ago. This image is a testament to the rich history and diverse landscapes that make Taiwan a truly remarkable destination.
