Everything you need to identify Taiwan in GeoGuessr — from the writing system and road signs to bollard colours, utility poles, and the landscape itself.
These are the fastest visual identifiers — things you should look for in the first few seconds of a round.

Taiwan drives on the right side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the right side — so oncoming traffic comes from the left. This is the norm for most of Europe, the Americas, and continental Asia.
Taiwan's TSMC produces over 90% of the world's most advanced semiconductors — the chips that power every iPhone, AI system and modern computer. Taiwan is also the birthplace of bubble tea, invented in a Taichung tea shop in the 1980s.
