请认真阅读下面关于台湾的资料，根据所提供的信息，完成下列表格。

Last summer vacation I went to Taiwan with my parents．Taiwan is really beautiful! The weather is always warm and humid because around Taiwan is the sea．In the north, there is the winter season, but in the south, there is no winter season and you can enjoy sunshine every day．The typhoon（台风）season is from June to October．

There are many mountains in Taiwan．A-li Mountain is one of the five biggest mountains there．We went to climb A-li Mountain one afternoon．There are many trees in the forest there．They are very tall and many of them are really old．

Sun Moon Lake is the largest natural lake in Taiwan．In the lake there are many kinds of fishes． When we were watching the fish, an old man asked us, “Are you from Shanghai?” When we said “Yes”, he looked very happy and told us he was born in Shanghai and misses the city very much．He asked a lot of questions about Shanghai and gave us some fish when we left．

We also went to the beach and enjoyed the sunshine．There are many kinds of food in the small towns near the sea．A kind of dumplings with sea food in it is my favorite．

Taiwan, a beautiful island, I love it!
