Taiwan is located along the “Ring of Fire,” a chain of seismic faults that circles the Pacific Ocean and is the epicenter of most earthquakes around the world.
Over the years, countless shocks have shaken Taiwan.
The following are the strongest earthquakes in Taiwan in modern times.

In 1999, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck the Chi-Chi area of central Taiwan, killing about 2,500 people.
In addition to injuring many people, the earthquake disaster also destroyed houses and other buildings.
