Taiwan
Taiwan, also called Formosa, is the area based on Taiwanese culture. It, like China and Zipangu, is made up of two main areas, Xi Men Ding (translates to West Gate Town) and the Night Market.

This is the first area that one arrives at when traveling to Taiwan. It has a modern appearance, and features a plethora of items and shops. There are quests from the NPCs here, some of which are based on real celebrities in Taiwan. It is a bright place, filled with apartment buildings and different types of cars. Even the minimap icon shows its modern state by depicting traffic signs. The monsters are found in alleyways, and range from stray city dogs to Lupins riding motorcycles and and unicycles.

This area is unique in that, obviously, it is set in the night time. Lanterns are strung across the streets, lighting the path. There are hair salons and a plastic surgery hospital here. Many NPCs are located here, and hand out quests, in addition to selling various items exclusively available here. Monsters here are very strange, including animated Bubbow drinks and vending machines. Further down the monster trail, transforming crane machines that summon miniature toy monsters are found, and the big boss of Taiwan, the Oden King, is located. It has two forms and drops the always valuable Ilbi Throwing stars. In the month of December, it was joined by the Christmas King Slime, which randomly appeared in Night Market maps. Also, there is a Fish Catching mini game called Fishing King, involving swimming through an Aqua Road-like setting and melee striking different kinds of fish.
