Traffic Advantages

|
|
Taiwan is a key transportation hub in the Asia-Pacific region、with an average of only 2.55 hours to the seven main cities in the Asia-Pacific region. Chiayi County、located in the south-central region of Taiwan、is a critical traffic thoroughfare connecting the north and the south. It is now only about one hour from Taipei and 30 minutes from Kaohsiung with the opening of the Taiwan High Speed Rail service.

The county is situated between the central and south areas of Taiwan and therefore the traffic is very |
| |
convenient. It is the convergence point of the recently-formed central Taiwan industrial band (the Central Scientific Park and the Sixth Naphatha) and the south Taiwan industrial band (the Southern Scientific Park and Kaohsiung City)、 only 60 minutes from the Central Scientific Park and 40 minutes from the Southern Scientific Park. According to the conference of the Executive Yuan finance and economy task force in June 2006、Chiayi will have managerial and administrative advantages due to its location when the Central and Southern Scientific Park are expanded in the future. |
|
Chiayi posses a bounty of academic and educational resources、with 9 colleges and universities and some |
| |
45,000 students. The combined research energy of Chung Cheng University、Chiayi University、 Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute、Refining and Manufacturing Research Institute、 and Tai Sugar Biotech Plant cannot be overlooked. |
|
The abovementioned academic institutes and their continuing education divisions can supply human power |
| |
such as students and graduates to both the professional (mechanics、 electrical engineering、industrial design、chemistry、and material science) and service (marketing and business administration) sectors in the park、and provide technical support for industrial development. |

Geographical and Natural Characteristics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chiayi has a unique geographical landscape、different from those of other areas that the Tropic of Cancer crosses. Most of the lands that the Tropic of Cancer crosses form only deserts or semi deserts at most. But in Taiwan、thanks to the abundance of rainfall from the monsoon and humid air currents、forests are able to grow.
