海

A large body of salt water. Taiwan is surrounded by sea: the Taiwan Strait to the west, the East China Sea to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the east, and the South China Sea to the south. Taiwan's maritime position is strategically critical — the Taiwan Strait is one of the world's most important shipping lanes. Taiwan's fishing industry and maritime culture are important parts of its identity, particularly for coastal and indigenous Pacific communities.

“臺灣四面環海，臺灣海峽是全球最繁忙的海上航道之一，具有重要的戰略地位。”

In English: “Taiwan is surrounded by sea on all sides; the Taiwan Strait is one of the world's busiest maritime routes, holding important strategic significance.”
